My Thoughts
Here are my thoughts on the scrimmage: (for what its worth)
1. Lathan was the best player on the floor. Athletic, physical, decent shooter, slasher. Got up and blocked a Carl Richard jump shot. I have only seen him once, but I think he could be in the running for NOY next year.
2. Marshall was also very good. We are going to miss him at the beginning of the year. He looks like the team leader, along with Tunnell.
3. Tunnell looks trimmer than last year. Showed a nice outside jumper better facing the basket than with back to it.
4. Cutter was a big surprise for me. He is a true PG. Absolutely agree with SycEm. He looks like our PG for years to come. Excellent passer, sees the floor well, good shooter.
5. Richard As advertised with athleticism. Can really get up in the air. Can shoot it. Looks like he could be a good defender down the line. A tad shaky handling the ball and passing though.
6. Printy Best shooter on team. Will contribute this year.
7. Crawford Not overly impressed or disappointed. He is long and lanky. Looks like a decent athlete. Could be a solid contributor with added weight in the next year or two.
8. Leitnaker About the same as Crawford. Didn't do anything special. I like Crawford a little more at this point.
9. Martin A little stronger. Looks about the same on offense as last year but with added muscle could be an even bigger force on D. He is the kind of kid who just lights up a room and others follow him. natural leader.
10. Doluony Another pleasant surprise. Can handle the ball, defend. He may never be our leading scorer, but he is going to get a lot of rebounds, blocked shots, and steals before his career is over. Looks like a natural for a pressing style team as he is athletic, long, and fast.
11. Carter Was maybe the best player on floor at the beginning. Slowed some at the end. Steady player who is going to maybe be our leading scorer this year in my opinion. Shot the ball from out really well.
12. Barlow was disappointing. Not going to see much time in my opinion.
13. Donaldson typical walk-on. Practice player only.
14. Reed has an injury. Disappointed to not be able to see him but hope he is ready for the season.
