The game is going to slow down for them at some point, and that might be mid-season, in the A10, or not at all, this year.
Josh is even showing his lack of court time against bigger and older competition. He is eating too many balls in the lane, and finding himself out of position on defense. Kostas is just a puppy out there. I can see how he dazzled the team in pre-season practice because we basically have no interior lane defense to slow him down. The bar for Kostas is now set much higher than even he could have imagined.
This is going to get worse before it gets better, and then maybe our focus and intensity will improve.
Right now we are embarrassingly bad. But I see the talent for the future and that's why no matter what I won't give up on them this season.
