Message: [QUOTE="br801, post: 2405394, member: 932"] This very young team will win a lot of rock fights with its scrapiness on the defensive end (with a zone that will only get better) and tenacious work on the offensive glass. It also looks like JB has the personnel to employ the press regularly and proactively instead of only out of desperation. Battle is a flat out stud. Howard appears to have legitimately turned the corner into a solid all-around point guard now that he's no longer looking over his shoulder. Brissett looks like one of the better freshmen in the country and is only scratching the surface of his potential. Dolezaj brings energy every night and plays fearlessly. Chukwu is playing more like the guy JB was touting last season. Sidibe is hobbled right now, but he and Chukwu make a nice tandem at center. Depth is obviously a concern with this group, but JB certainly knows how to manage a game playing only six or seven guys. It should be fun watching this season unfold. [/QUOTE]
