Can’t say I’m glad they lost; I root hard for the Flyers no matter the circumstances. But I am glad this weird-a$$ season is over. The inconsistency of this team was maddening. Add to that covid, no crowds, lost games and a rash of injuries and I’m more than ready to start over. Down two starters and Jalen absolutely spent was a recipe for disaster today. This result is no surprise.
I’m hoping against hope that our incoming freshmen are ready to go on day one. Failing that, at least by the start of league play. Zimi and Brea can be good ROLE players off the bench. Blakney and Amzil — possibly Weaver, too — have the credentials to start. The jury is out — waaaaaaaay out — on Sissoko and Frazier. Soooo, I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing Grant give the keys to the car to Smith, Greer, Washington and especially Holmes to see where they can take us. If they’re as good as advertised, we might surprise some folks next year.
After this season, I need a dose of consistency, effort, energy, controlled swagger and fundamental hoops played with a high IQ. May the newcomers lead the way, please.
