[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 849604, member: 274"] Mike Devoe was a baaaad man. And that wasn't even a Nike ball. As others have mentioned, I found our last few possessions frustrating. I wasn't a fan of the shot selection in the last minute, but I can't fault the play calls in terms of what we were trying to accomplish. I have been wondering about our freshmen and have wanted to see their play against P6 competition. After two contests my way-too-early analysis is this: I love their energy, I think they can be deadeye shooters this year, and they seem to have good positive attitudes. Deebo has found success with the classic Pastner "violent cuts" as well. With that said, they are typical freshman in two ways: [LIST=1] [*]They aren't great defenders. They aren't terrible, but they are a liability in many situations. [*]They aren't great and frankly look uncomfortable putting the ball on the floor against high end, pressure competition. [/LIST] The good news is they can be immediately accretive from deep in catch and shoot situations. That may be ok for this roster mix if Devoe, Ush, Sturdy and Sneak can penetrate and kick. Until then, I have tempered expectations on what we will get from them. This is ok and in the long-term the two mentioned look like high ceiling potential guys. [/QUOTE]
