[QUOTE="SescIllini, post: 1491805, member: 603681"] This team struggled early on, turnovers, missed shots and poor defense will make you look bad. But this team is probably what BU envisioned (length/size all over the court, shooters, and play makers). Ayo will be OK, as stage and competition get bigger Ayo gets better. Trent was assertive when he needed to be, can't remember an ill advised shot. When we fell behind he decided to make some plays for us, other than that was trying to facilitate. Feliz same thing, gets to the rim and makes shots. I fine with what Damonte brings, but he needs to hit the free throws and occasional 3's. He lacks Feliz ability to take it to the rim and score, but overall "glue" type player. Kofi better than advertise, in the future see a lot of hack a Shaq (although Kofi has nice FT form/shot) and plenty of uncalled fouls. Giorgi and Kofi ran the hi/lo nicely and seem to mesh well on the court. I'm not concerned about have two bigs together, they seem to understand the spacing part. Kofi has a nice mid range shot. Great having two bigs to rebound and defend the interior. Would like to see Kipper's shot falling, had a couple of nice mid range and open 3 shots not go in. He will be solid for us, just like Damonte he needs to hit his free throw like two years ago. Griffin has grown physically into a nice combo guard size, with his growing athleticism and nice shot, predict he will be solid for us now and special down the road. Enjoy the process of watching Griffin grow, there will be struggles but he projects well. BBVerdonk, great confidence and form on his shot. Probably going to have a high FT and FG percentage. I thought his legs gave out multiple times, likely due to recent injury and this being his 5th full day of practice/games. In 6-8 weeks we start the BIG TEN and I feel his legs will be back to form and even be better. I don't know how good he will be this year and if he will take some minutes from Kipper/Damonte/Tevian. I do see him being in a BIGs rotation with Kofi, Giorgi, and Hamlin. Hamlin I see playing 5-7 minutes to just give Kofi, Giorgi, BBV a breather or if they are in foul trouble. You guys don't seem to like my player comparison, but which player was 6-8 tall, can hit the 3's, run the court, unselfish passer, and dives for balls. Hint: Played for Duke. That is who BBV style wise reminds me of. [/QUOTE]
