Our guards are going to give team fits by the end of the year. Last night doesn't count or prove anything. That was (less?) than an inter squad scrimmage. But the defensive abilities of those 2 frosh is eye widening. Not gonna take that shooting as proof of anything yet.

For sure. Team is going to take some lumps this year, but hopefully paints lets them play through it to learn and gain experience. Hopefully we compete for the conf tourney and are playing our best bball by end of Jan/mid Feb.

Any chance Furst starts alongside of TKR early on?

Opportunity there if he can be in position more than not, rebound and defend.

So far been a mixed bag though. It's early.

Why does CJ remind me of Willie Dean. He just seems to bring it.

Yeah strange. He didn’t even attempt a shot…and did he vs Creighton? I mean I know offense doesn’t run through him and plays probably aren’t drawn up, but we need him to be aggressive and rebound if we are going to do well this year.

Reminds me of Mason Gillis his Junior year in that he would often pass up open shots. Our players need to be aggressive on offense.

I didn’t watch last night, but has he even had opportunities to shoot??

Not especially. I dont' remember thinking "shoot it" at any point. Sign of a good player that can take what the defense gives and be ok with it. He's not a designated shooter at this point, so its all good.
