It's been fun to watch already.   Also fun to watch are the modifications the coaching staff is making while our players are working on their game.

For instance, Solo was a bad passer even in the cupcake games.  So the staff altered his role having him focus on scoring instead of distributing and scoring.

I've noticed that on several occasions Solo is bringing the ball up court after an opposing made basket.   Same with Ross, McNeeley and Mahaney.  Why?  Because it gives these players an opportunity to develop their dribbling skills while surveying what's happening in front of them without the pressure of the clock.  It's game time practice without much liability in the half court offense.

Until Solo becomes the defender we believe he can be, and until Jaydon becomes the player who can contribute on offense the way I believe he can, Hurley has been platooning these players at the end of close games.  I've seen Solo help on defensive rebounding and covering Johnson's player on the high hedge lately where in the beginning of the season he just looked lost.  Jaydon's posture on the court has significantly improved.  He is our second best perimeter defender and best perimeter rebounder.  When these guys put it all together this team will hum.
