Message: [QUOTE="Kitaman, post: 2435932, member: 67"] Not a directive but a suggestion. New players, new coaches and plenty of young'uns. This is rebuilding year preparing our future. Last year I would not have stayed up till 2am, but this squad excites me. There is a lot of promise. Come February I expect us to be very pleased about what is trams forming. Carlton and the others were overmatched but no one backed down or was intimidated. They also can rebound like we haven't seen in awhile. I saw two things that I hope get fixed for us to get 20 wins: First, Jalen only needs to be more of an effective leader, I hope he's capable. I'm saying be calm, encouraging, get everyone involved (including mentally) and take over when the team needs you. That floater was displayed too late and the youngsters clearly needed some encouragement. Ollie also should make sure his minutes are managed, at least so he can respond to runs with energy and clarity in the 2nd half. Just saying Jalen a lot of times will be the best player on the court, he needs to be consistent and lead or defer to someone who will. He's too good. Secondly, We have a shooter in Larrier. Use him in Rip fashion. He's deadly mid range. Needs to get the ball in his spot and 'catch and shoot'. I not confident a 3 point assassin will emerge but let's shoot closer in guys. So far no one looks NBA ready and that bodes well for us fans and the future. The good news is this is the best team we've has in years and they are young, developing, learning and improving. I call them 'popcorn ready' because a script is playing out for next season. [/QUOTE]
