I enjoyed what I saw. Still need to work on some inbounding help at times though.
London and Lowery played very well, but both made the same types of mistakes. (bad fouls, bad passes) London tried to hit Mickey (?) on the left wing, and Mickey was in his own world, rather than possibly catch the ball, and come around underneath to the basket for a quick two.
I truly believe Huelsman's days as a starter are coming to an end. I think Searcy will take the starting job soon. Dude's got like a 6 foot stride, takes him 6 steps to go endline to endline.
I think we also have a backup PG in Little. Why does BG put Little at the top of the key with the other point guard so that he can make plays. He only had 2 assists, but he seemed to be directing the floor a bit more. I enjoyed seeing that, though, because it showed that he is being the senior leader on the team, where I didn't think that was going on at the scrimmage. Then in other areas, he puts CL in at the 5 spot.
I really wish I could have had a sound amplifier thingy, where I can point it to the huddle and hear what was being said, because that timeout 16 seconds into the second half really would have been fun to listen to. BG was hot and so was one of the assistants. Looked like a no holds barred, what in the world do you think you're doing, did you not hear the play I called drilling.
I'm still interested to see if Wright can find his spot. I almost wonder if Wright is going to get too container, like BRob last year, and not get the points he deserves. But, his energy shows all the time on the court. He grabbed an offensive board, puts it up, careems off the rim, and he's diving on the floor with the opponent to get it, and then while laying on his butt, throws it towards center court for a pass, but it got interecepted. I've always appreciated his hustle.
Listened to the postgame, and people mentioned in the thread that it was hard to see what was going on with everyone substituting in, BG's plan was for everyone to get 15-20 minutes, so it worked out the way they wanted. And, they were only giving Paul 6 minutes each half since he hasn't practiced much lately.
Let's see what happens with Gannon, and maybe things will look a bit clearly for a regular game play type atmosphere.
