[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1424064, member: 7292"] Exhibition games are just scrimmages but skills/personnel -wise IMO the two main areas of concerns are: rebounding and interior offense/defense. Playing against a Div. III school we should have dominated the rebounding war even if it was just a scrimmage. Rebounding is a lot about attitude and positioning and did not see the overall hustle at either end of the floor. On the interior, especially on offense, we have some serious lack of skills (interior defense is a concern but was harder to evaluate as IW was overmatched and did not have many interior offense threats). While Giorgi hit some 3-pt shots, we really did not have anyone with inside skills against a clearly overmatched team. This is a a team that we should have dominated inside and we did not. It is good to see for the first time in a long time having 3 guards who can handle the ball and this ability will come handy when we get pressed, but it was more than obvious who was the main PG/general on the floor, and that was Frazier.
