Guards on ball D by Burford and Poindexter noticeable improvement
Maybe first off bench for Sandage.Lewis and Sandage seem like sure starters.
Andrews wont set any speed records, but he’s a man in the paint. Lewis is a good team leader. Burford moves at the speed of light. Sandage was steady as can be, deadly (5/9) from downtown.How is Andrews looking? Better lateral quickness?
I was too. And just what I thought. This team is loaded with shooters. Interior D will be the difference maker for this team. Malachi ended up with a thigh bruise and should be fine.I think our interior defense and offense are the areas that need the most work. I did think that Alex Kotov was physical. Petrakis seems to have the best offensive ability but it appears to be more as an outside shooter. He needs to be more physical. All could work on positioning prior to the entry pass.
I think Knight, Luke, and Lewis are are best rebounders. Knight has a nice body for his height.
The on the ball defense was night and day from the past few years. It was also nice to see players fight through screens.
All in all I was impressed with the teams first outing
A lot of what I heard today is an improvement over last year. I’m highly encouraged. We need some guys to step up on that interior but I’m largely unconcerned at guard. Poindexter, Sandage, Burford. Hell of a back court.I was too. And just what I thought. This team is loaded with shooters. Interior D will be the difference maker for this team. Malachi ended up with a thigh bruise and should be fine.
So he’s the opposite of what we are used to. Muller always tried to teach the athletes to be ball players instead of getting some guys with fundamentals. I’m all for some athletic projects but you can’t build an entire team on it. This roster already has higher basketball IQ than the past 3-4 years.Sandage (according to spell chek his name is Sausage) is a shooter, but won't ever be described as athletic. Good heady player. Burford is lighting quick.
I like his game. Should be an easy injury to overcomeI was too. And just what I thought. This team is loaded with shooters. Interior D will be the difference maker for this team. Malachi ended up with a thigh bruise and should be fine.
Good to hear he will be okI was too. And just what I thought. This team is loaded with shooters. Interior D will be the difference maker for this team. Malachi ended up with a thigh bruise and should be fine.
