Message: [QUOTE="Scott11, post: 4821999, member: 6797"] A few thoughts -Disappointed that I didn’t see more of an evolution of Judah’s game. I thought he was playing hero ball on both ends. Didn’t see him make any good passes off the dribble. Devo correctly pointed out that his defense was not good enough. His shot selection was questionable and his outside shot didn’t look any better than last year. Hopefully this is rust given that he missed the first exhibition game. -I liked what I saw from JJ for the most part. His shot actually looked better than in the exhibition games though the numbers don’t back that up and he went to the basket strong. It looked like he got banged up and I’m sure he would’ve been out there in the final minutes if something wasn’t not right. -Taylor uncharacteristically had some bad turnovers early but I thought his four point play and foul line jumper were two of the biggest plays in the game. Also was happy to see him go to the basket and pick up the fifth foul on their best player. His man to man has to be better though. -looks like Maliq hurt himself when we were pressing, and I was surprised he was as effective as much as he was in the second half. I thought McLeod did some good things, and I was surprised that he barely played. Much like in the second exhibition game Carey had a couple of moments where he showed his athleticism, and I’m somewhat surprised that he seems to have already beaten out Hima. -Quadir was trick or treat. He drove me crazy with unnecessary flashy plays that turned into turnovers, and he also took some ill-advised shots including awful three-point shots. But he also hustled and ended up with 13 rebounds. If the kid ever learns the value of not turning the ball over, he can be pretty useful. -I’m excited about Cuffe. I think he is incredibly athletic and that one three was a big shot. I’m looking forward to seeing him evolve and play some big minutes. -Bell looked absolutely miserable on the bench. I’d prefer that he pretend to care about his teammates when he’s not in the game. -I would’ve played more man to man down the stretch. Hard to critique Red tonight, but there is something to be said for the fact that nobody seemed to panic when the lead got chopped down. -The most surprising thing tonight was how good Devo was and how bad Matt Park was. Devo made a lot of good observations even though he was playing the role of the Syracuse homer. For some reason Matt park couldn’t figure out that Judah had 4 fouls and when the game was getting close he seemed not to notice. -i’ll always take the win. But really a confusing game and it’s hard to know what to take from it. [/QUOTE]
