Wow, Jordan has such confidence as a freshman. You can't teach that. Even when he gets beat on defense, it is not due to lack of position or effort. If he is open he is shooting, and count most of them.
Crosby, except for one bad, got caught in the lane with no place to go, played another very good game. His defense is pretty darn good, certainly no drop of from Scoochie, who I adored, but would take plays off on a regular basis. That twisting layup he made was certainly Scoochie like. We are getting very little outside shooting from either he or Crutcher, and that has to happen to spread the defense. Crutcher is a keeper. It will just take confidence to penetrate more, and Grant putting his foot on his throat until he starts playing good defense.
Cunningham eats up the average size and talent bigs, but can he do it against some better bigger ones?
Kostas and Matej are still growing. Lots of good things and some bad things. Glad to see Matej go inside and also rebound. Those three games I saw in Charleston he stayed near the three point line.
DD has become the player we all wanted. Down at the half he comes out and smokes em. He now draws such attention from the defense that it makes things happen for other guys.
