Akok looked great. If he's hitting shots off the bounce he's easily our best offensive big and maybe our best big overall. It's a highlight, but I was hoping to see AJ scoring outside of dunks. :(

Love to hear it, just wanted to see it. If he's our go to guy and Akok is playing like the 1st round talent he is it can make this year very exciting. Samson looked reaaaaally good in these short clips too. Depth is not a problem this year it seems. Just need to find a big time player or two from the group.
 
Summer energy is right on. This team, these practices, you can feel the spirit.

We're gonna be GOOOOOOOOOOOODDD!!!!!!!!!

A lot to get excited about in that clip, especially Akok, Samson, and the overall team energy. Samson had a nice 'blow by' drive to the hoop. Then I noticed it was Polley he left in the dust. We need Polley to play better defense to be able to keep him on the court for his shot. Of all the highlights to tout Samson, the choice was made to include a drive which also highlights Polley's matador defense when he closes out on a guy, and the guy drives all the way to the rim with Polley trailing. Please make him better. Please give me only positive highlights so my hopes are not grounded in reality.

You’re really breaking down a ten second hype video?
 
These short hype videos are like recruiting videos highlighting only the made shots and fancy moves. Like a resume' without consecutive dates of employment. Or, like a preview of a movie or like a 30 second clip of a 3 minute song.

But, a ten minute video with a player scoring off tough defenders and switching on defense and boxing out... that is another story.

If those 10 seconds represent a full scrimmage, then a lot to like.
 
Guys look good. Akok flashing some of the form that makes he think he could be the best player on this roster next year. But no matter how you look at it, lots of pieces for the staff to work with. There is much to be excited about.

Tbh, I don’t see where Polly gets pt on this roster. If he is I don’t think that’s good news for where we are as a team.
