Author Topic: My observations handycat Player Member # 2323 posted 07-12-2023 02:43 PM                     on the first half. We need to get Reeves some more NIL money so he can afford matching shoes. Follow me for more insightful observations.

I have been impressed with Wagner, Reeves, Thiero, and Shepperd. Wagner looks good with the ball, has a nice outside shot in this game, and seems like he can be a solid PG. Thiero and Reeves are doing all the little things, and Shep has surprised me with his defense. Tre Mitchell looks like he has a nice outside shot, when he has time. Dillingham is fun with the ball, but he dribbles too much. Seems like a college version of Harden. Looks like he could be really good if he learns to be a little more decisive with the ball. I sure wish Onyenso could have played.

I was pleasantly surprised in Thiero’s improvement. Tre Mitchell is better than I expected, at least in this game. Sheppard couldn’t throw it in the ocean today but the rest of his game was much better than I thought. His shot will come around. Reeves, other than his mismatched shoes, looked excellent. We won fairly easily without either of our big men. I have got excited about our upcoming season in the past after watching these “summer games” but I will be danged if I let it happen this year.

Also Edward's is a little selfish with the ball. Reed didn't hit any shots but he impacted the game in a lot of different ways. I believe this team can be really good. -------------------- Bleeding Blue in south Alabama. Kentucky born, Kentucky bred,I'll be kentucky until i'm dead!

Sheppard looks like someone who played in the past, not making any of his shots. I agree with most of the rest. The biggest surprise is Thiero. He played all over the court doing just about anything he wanted to do. He is a much bigger footprint of his last years self. Mitchell will get a lot of PT. I hated to see the circle played almost constantly again. We do have some good drivers that will score a lot of bunnies.

Wow. Those guys are do-anything-to-help players. Thiero has taken his body and athleticism to the next level. This was a guard-oriented game, so it was fun to watch. I wonder how we will look with a true big man in there. With our guards' athleticism and ability to both defend bigger players and rebound effectively, we might be able to do a 1-in 4-out scheme this year. Let's see how this team evolves. -------------------- Tiptree “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson Posts: 13709 | From: Terre Haute, IN | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged CatfanRick Administrator Member # 126 posted 07-13-2023 02:53 PM                     I really liked the uniforms...
