Yes, it was Holy Cross, but many guys on the team made a major improvement in this game, and it seems like chemistry is starting to develop. I thought the rotations were great tonight. We didn't just pull guys after four minutes; we gave each group about six minutes per stretch, and carrying over Lydon to give him extended minutes to get his game going was a very good move, chemistry wise for this team.
We can debate this and that about who plays what position, but just consider tonight's production by position:
Center: Coleman & Chukwu: We got 11 rebounds, 1 point, 3 blocks and an assist from the center spot.
PF: Thompson & Roberson: 10-14 shooting, 22 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal
SF: Just Lydon (for our purposes tonight): 17 pts, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2-3 from three
SG: White & Battle - 28 points, 8-15 from three, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals (What !!! - Vintage Kobe)
PG: Gillon & Frankie: 20 points, 3-5 from three, 12 assists, 2 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block and only 2 turnovers!! (What II)
Look at that production per position. It's off the hook! This team really showed what it can do tonight and everybody contributed. Thompson made a big jump tonight. Paschal is getting so much better so fast. Frank is really showing with the lights on what he showed people this summer in pick up ball. Gillon is like Billy Edelin with those spins high off the backboard, mixed with Jimmy Williams, he is so fast and so quick into the lane. Holy cow this team is impressing.
