I watched all three games and must say I'm very encouraged by what I witnessed. Of course, short our three big's we didn't see the full arsenal but I think we did see a team that naturally has taken to the dribble drive offense. They're quick, force turnovers, dish the ball very well and can shoot the three. My only hope is they can do the same against better opposition. Overall grade... A
i 2nd that Marc!! And, while i didnt see actual stats on overall turnovers i am thrilled that in the first game they said Knight had zero turnovers (good knight maan!). That was to me the big frustration last year with Wall and Bledsoe turning it over about 8 times a game. To gain momentum and take opponents out of the game and not yourself, there needs to be less turnovers! eeky
In warmups for the last game, Brandon couldn't miss from three. He was a machine. And Lamb couldn't buy one. Shots were flat and short. But in the game, Brandon went 2-7 and Lamb 3-4. Go figure.
Turnovers: 14, 14, 14. Knight and Lamb combined for 3, 4, 3, versus 6,16,10 assists. Nice.
For what that's worth in August exhibition and without our big men. Brandon impressed. Darius impressed. DeAndre impressed. Lamb began to impress.
Stacy did not. Didn't do anything in his 47 minutes of play. He does seem lost right now.
Hood also disappointed. Played 25 minutes a game and did not shoot well away from the basket, especially from the line. Good defensive effort, grabbed some rebounds and made some steals, but has no consistent shot.

Good wrap-up, thanks Wheatgerm
