Between rustling up some grub, listening to Dino Babers explain the loss and watching baseball and football games, I managed to take a few peeks at the basketball game. My observations:

- Elijah Hughes is an NBA player.

- Robert Braswell is not going to ride the pines this year.

- Buddy Boeheim is maturing into much more than just a shooter. He had a spinning move for a tunr-around 10 footer that was a joy to watch. he's a good passer, too.

- Brycen Goodine has some great range on his shot.

- Joe Girard hand handle the ball very well. he's clearly shorter than his teammates but his dribble is the lowest and quickest of them, making it hard to take the ball away.

- Jalen Carey made some bad plays at the beginning of the second half. I suspect that he'll frequently be in the coach's dog house. But he won't be benched. I do like the higher arc on his jump shot.

- Quincy Guerrier seemed slow and didn't play very well. But he'll play.

- Marek Dolezaj didn't play well, either but he'll play, too.

- I was impressed with Jesse Edwards' play in the first half  on both ends. He was an active defender and rebounder and converted some plays inside. He was less effective in the second half. John Bol Ajak did make as much of an impression.

- All these guys can play but JB said he's going to work down to 8-9 for the season. Who gets left out of the rotation? I think it's most likely to be Howard Washington and the two freshman centers. it's obviously not going to be Sidibie, Dolezaj, Hughes or Guerrier. I don't think Braswell will be left out. certainly Buddy won't. Carey and Goodine will battle it out at the point and Girard can play either guard position.
