Message: [QUOTE="TinyManInside, post: 2371777, member: 1251"] Some thoughts. 1) Battle is gonna have a lot of games where he scores like 20 points on something like 7-21 shooting. I predict Burganesque year where he has to shoot way too much against too much defensive pressure because that's the only option. 2) Brissett is really, really good. Not sure if he's going to be good enough to be consistent through the full season and give a good enough 2nd option after Battle to make this a 0.500 ACC team, but his long term potential is excellent. 3) Frank Howard might be ready to contribute something meaningful in the scoring department but he's still not a PG. But he's probably going to our 3rd best player... 4) Chuckwu is actually a lot better than I expected. Not saying he isn't terrible, but at least he can move around a little this year. This says more about my expectations than anything else. 5) Thorpe looks like a guy from a terrible team who scores 15 points against SU in a game his team loses by 18, because... someone is gonna score in double figures. Very unimpressed. Left his feet with no idea what he was going to do with the ball about 5 or 6 times - Kaleb Joseph style. 6) Moyer. Dude plays hard. 7) Marek. Dude plays hard. 8) Moyer revisited. He's all knees and elbows. The way he moves around reminds me of Dennis Rodman, only he has no idea what he's doing out there. But he plays hard. 9) Marek revisited. He's feisty but has NO strength. How is he going to score in ACC play? Nice anticipation, good length, good defensive awareness, but all this talk about him scoring off dribble drives sounds ludicrous to me. His handle looks terrible, every time he dribbled the ball came up to his chest. How is this guy gonna score on anything other than garbage/fastbreaks? His shot looks like it needs a ton of work. But he plays hard. 10) I actually like Moyer and Marek as guys who could help down the line but the thought of major minutes for either of these guys this year is a little scary. 11) Howard Washington - unless Thorpe really is as bad as he looked tonight, I can't see him getting meaningful minutes. 12) Sidibe - I like his potential. A lot. 13) Really, really, really scared to go into this season with so little experience and topline talent. I hope these guys improve a lot and surprise me, but I'm not expecting anything beyond NIT. Mason [/QUOTE]
