[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 835754, member: 2784"] To tag onto a lot of what has already been said Overall we have a lot of long athletic pieces. The interesting wrinkle to me was we pressed almost the entire game. Mostly 2-2-1 that morphed into a 2-1-2 when Moorehouse pushed 2 people ahead down court - but we also ran a little 1-2-1-1. I thought it was a neat wrinkle to play to our length and athleticism. Especially with some of the newcomers We sped up Morehouse and showed really active hands. I don’t know their turnovers but I thought it was a really effective wrinkle. We scored a lot off of it I was surprised we didn’t run any zone at all. All press and fall back to man. I still think we will end up running a lot of zone even off a press Usher and Devoe are ready to go. Usher in particular looked more confident and ready to shoot. He has fun and plays hard. He is our bellcow I thought Howard played D and rebounded well. He is not Moses but he is our #1option at the 5. Saba looks improved but still has issues with strength and footwork. Markka is still raw The early block by K Moore was ESPN highlight worthy. His D is high level. Unfortunately his offense is still not. The shots he missed were really bad. With the 5 spot not going to be a scoring threat Moore has to pick up his game there J Moore, Devion and Debo are solid additions. Deebo is thick and has all the skills you need. He was a willing defender today but he still needs to show that against better competition. I like the speed and athleticism from Devion. He is dangerous in the trap and will push the ball. Miles Kelley can shoot but I think he is a step behind Deebo for the moment The interesting one to me is J Moore. He has high end athleticism and speed with a grown man body. He does not have the skills of the others but if/when he does watch out. For this year if we run the press much going forward he will still get minutes just because he can be that disruptive Overall this is a different team than last year and looks to play differently There wasn’t any walking the ball up the court and we tried to push tempo especially off the trap. We were good at pushing, attacking the rim and kicking to the perimeter for the open 3. We ran the Princeton set in the half court but again not much one on one and a lot of penetrate and kick IF we continue to play this way we will be a much more free flowing, attacking team utilizing a lot of long athletic players in something akin to positionless basketball - at least for 1-4 spots [/QUOTE]
