Will watch the full game later, saw just pieces last night.
A couple of stats stand out to me.
Alvarado, CGB And Cole were 4-11 from 3 - not killer, but not bad at all for FR in their first game against good competition. Rest of team was 0-7.
Alston had 10 pts for us, but it was on 2-9 shooting (we need him to make a few threes) and had 6 TO. The rest of the team had 5 TO combined.
Alvarado is going to be the starter at PG, period. I think Moore is in trouble long term in terms of playing time. Once Tad and JO are back they are going to take alot of min from Moore and Haywood. Then you have Devoe coming in and Phillips coming off a RS, so I don't see his playing time improving next season. Will be interesting to see if he stays 4 years. He is well liked an seems to like GT alot.
Lammers is a dude.
Neither JO or Tad may be deadeye shooters, but both are good enough to help our perimeter scoring alot. JO looked great in that video shooting threes with the cast one - made 7 in a row at one point.
Alvarado is just a gamer. Not a natural shooter but makes shoots when he needs to.
Not surprised Wright had a poor game. He outclassed Faulkner with size and athleticism, won't be easy to do that against better teams. Cole is the more skilled of the two - but missed 8 days of practice, both have nice upside.
All the FR look lost at times - that doesn't bother me that much..
Gueye is excellent on defense - he had 6 rebounds (4 def) and 4 blocks, but simply is not a threat out at the high post on offense. But he will play some because of what he can do on defense. Solid with the ball - 2 asts, 1 TO.
Hope Ogbonda's knee gets better, lots of chatter he had a great summer, bummer he has the MCL.
This could be a completely different team once JO and Tad are back. Right now it is playing big with Moses getting time at the 3, the 4 guards got 92 out of 120 perimeter min.
Once JO and Tad come back i could see that reversing and becoming a small ball team with JO at the 4 for parts of games and less time for Wright and Cole and probably AD (who played 32 last night - second only to Lammers).
Without JO and Tad we played 8 guys 16 min or more.
One more comment in response to an earlier poster. GT is recruiting shooters. Haywood shot 40%+ at Brewster. Cole is a really good shooter - heck made 7 threes in the GA All-Star game. Sjolund is likely one of the best shooters coming into college next season. Devoe is a good 3-pt shooter. But don't expect guys to be great shooters as FR(especially early), they need time to get used to the size and speed of the college game and have it become more instinctual and natural.
