Message: [QUOTE="TheChamps990411, post: 4441179, member: 662"] I think the big difference is we have a consistent big 3. Sanogo, Hawkins and Newton. Newton has been steady as a rock at the point. Doesnt force his own offense, takes the drive when its there but is always looking for the open guy. That deep 3 he hit against Bama was cold and just put an end to their night basically.He has been outstanding. Hawkins is an absolute demon on defense and can put up 15 points in his sleep and hes not even playing his best basketball yet. When he takes that leap forward:eek: watch out. Sanogo seemed like he needed a bit of time to adjust to facing size and athleticism and he exploded last night in the second half and i believe he will only get better as the season goes. Then you have the complimentary players like Clingan and Karaban who have been WAAAAAYYY better early on than anyone thought. Believe me i was high on both those kids but i thought theyd need time to adjust and theyve hit the ground running. I mean Clingan held his own two nights in a row against really good frontcourts and Karaban was everywhere, hitting shots and dropping dimes! Just a fun player to watch. Throw in Joe Cali whos a 4 alarm blaze right now and this team is clicking far quicker than expected. Ajax needs to find his role and excel and when he does his impact will be big and we`ve got Diarra and Alleyne who will contribute. Oh yeah Samson gives us another big who can hopefully defend, rebound and block shots adding more depth to keep the bigs as fresh as possible for that March run. [/QUOTE]
