In response to JBears
It was not a bad performance despite the final score. The offense wasn't great and the defense had lots of holes. But they competed pretty well I thought.
I like a lot of what I see from the newcomers. You saw what Justin can do when he gets into the lane - 3/4 of his shots have been from 3 thus far and he is capable of taking it to the hole and needs to do more of that to be effective.
Obviously Corey Daugherty is a real D1 player. He may be the guy most comfortable with the ball in his hands and is big time quick and skilled. He's taking a lot of shots and not hitting them yet, so creating more for others is probably his next big challenge.
Travis Fuller was really good against PC. Very skilled and not afraid to play in the paint. Like his upside.
And I will say I can see how Aram Martin helps this team. His size and presence has already had some impact. He has the potential to be an important role player. He's looked pretty good, especially for a guy who never played at this level and missed last season.
Otherwise Brown's legacy guys have not really found their rhythm consistently. They are shooting tons of threes (without hitting them, save for Hobbie) and not getting into the paint nearly enough. Biggest difference vs opponents is the number of FTs they are shooting. They need more going to the basket and Tavon is the only one who has done that consistently.
Defense has been spotty at best. I did like the 1-3-1 look Mike threw at PC with Speith up front. That is an effective 30-second shot clock defense, despite the fact that PC found the holes.
Work to do gelling more as a team.
