[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 835717, member: 2458"] I was there - some comments/thoughts ... long post to touch a lot of questions posted Starting five - Sturdivant, Devoe, Kahlid, Usher, Howard Parham was not dressed (injury) - was walking and dribbling with no limp/issues before game - so hopefully will be back before Xmas Maxwell was not there - someone posted he is injured (I do not know). At the under 16 TO - line change (and partial line change every TO). Smith, Deebo, Kelly, Jalon, and Saba (who has more hair than Pastner ... must not own a razor or know where a barber shop is) Afterwards, kept mixing it up - Smith played point with starters, Sturdivant with second line and mixed things up I doubt anyone played 25 minutes - it was not a close game. Meka also played @3 minutes in first half -hurt ankle, but did come back in second half. Khalid tweaked ankle in second half and did not return (no reason to at that point) - did not appear serious. Devoe/Usher - our best two players and played like it. Sturdivant/Smith - I think will split time a point - based on who is playing better on given night that person gets 25 minutes, the other 15. They did play together for a few minutes. Howard - was best of the bigs. Did not score, and not sure how well he can distribute the ball from elbow (he is not Lammers passing the ball, but better than James Banks). Saba - made two layups, 4-4 on FT (great stroke - he might be in at end of close games because of this), not mobile, but really tall/long. Blocked one shot, changed couple more. Meka - one word - Raw (athletic, but raw ... little offensive skill, did make a nice catch/layup in transition) - based on today he is #3 of the bigs right now. Khalid - solid on D, great block of Morehouse layup early - shot was not there - air ball and hit side of backboard on two threes .... just like last year, needs to be threat other team must respect Deebo - not bashful - first touch launched a three (miss), made two threes in first half - really deep range in warmups. Handles it very well and sees court well - really a 6'6" guard. About as athletic as Devoe (may struggle guarding quicker opponents) - very skilled on offense and will play a lot Kelly - more aggressive offensively than Deebo - quick shot, aggressive defender - will definitely play some Jalon - a lot bigger than I expected - not sure we'll see him much this season (I expect Khalid to be main one to play the '4' when Usher is out) - can see potential - slasher, banged hard inside. Defense - man the entire game - did not play any zone. Long bench let the players on court play really hard then throw out fresh body Saba/Howard played couple minutes together late second half, but do not think we see much of that (basic offense, Saba at high post, Howard low and others stayed on perimiter). They played 2-3 minutes with no 5 (Usher at the 5), as expected weaker on boards and defending the interior .. we will see it, but doubt for long stretches this year. More turnovers than you want to see - but it's early and players on floor kept changing. Deebo/Kelly both have relatively low release points on their shots - need some space. Smith is really athletic - fast fast fast pushing the ball. I liked what I saw vs exibition games in past - team looked hungry early - hopefully ready for Miami Ohio in 10 days. [/QUOTE]
