[QUOTE="Idea Gardener, post: 1806346, member: 748926"] Good game overall after the initial jitters. Would like to see more verbal communication among the players. There isn't just one leader on this team, and I suspect leadership won't always manifest as one guy pulling everyone together. With so many versatile players, it will be interesting to see who stands out. My personal observations without having looked at the full box score: [B]Skyy[/B]: Exactly who we thought. Smooth, natural handles, well-rounded. Solid. In the first half I saw him pass up a few open enough shots, but he started to take them more in the 2nd half. [B]TSJ: [/B]Reliable and fluid. Seemed comfortable in all aspects of the game. Very good defense. [B]RJ[/B]:[B] [/B]Picking up right where he left off, so basically exactly what I wanted to see. [B]Mayer[/B]: Clearly one of the most talented and experienced. Looks like he knows what he's doing. Helps the versatility of the team on both sides of the floor. Spin move is sick. [B]Coleman[/B]: We got good Coleman. Play like that consistently against better teams (aside from inbound issues), and I'll be happy. [B]Ty: [/B]Lifts his teammates and his team, nullifies the opponents in various ways. Made an instant impact his first play in to help get rid of the jitters. Does everything 100%. Great rebounds. [B]Dain[/B]: In the first half looked a bit out of sorts, which is to be expected. Second half started to flow more and compliment the other players. Some good putbacks but also some unnatural moments. Needs to work on free throw shooting. I expect him to continuously refine throughout the season. [B]Sencire[/B]: Intense on defense and plays with a high energy level. Seems like the type of player who will always inject entertainment value as well. [B]Jayden: [/B]Seems balanced overall and will fit in to this playstyle just fine. In future games, I look forward to seeing him potentially drive the ball more. Seems to be a part of his game not showcased tonight. [B]Lieb: [/B]Fit into this defensive style better than I thought he would, and he looks more polished overall. [B]Paxton: [/B]Seems to play with equal parts determination and heart. [B]Skerven: [/B]Flowed fine with what team and I believe he got a nice assist. [/QUOTE]
