Message: [QUOTE="zepfan, post: 2394110, member: 8094"] I also was at the game tonight and had a very similar assessment. I thought Larrier looked much more poised and effective than what was described in the PC game. He has a nice stroke from 17 feet inward - not sure about his 3. Agree that Adams appeared to be taking it easy and allowing others to step up. I like what I see from AG except that his shooting appears to be a weak part of his game. This goes back to last year as well. His outside shot really looks poor to me. He can get to the rack pretty well but I have yet to see him stroke an outside shot in any consistent way. He's really not even close. CV did not have a very good game but i know his shooting will be much needed this year. He forced a couple quick 3s and needs to be more selective. I do not see what others see in Diarra. His defense is poor and he makes a lot of poor plays. I don't think he is in our top 7 guys. The 3 freshman are all promising but need to get stronger. I thought Whalley was the best of them tonight. I like Polley - future looks good but I don't think he's ready to be more than a 7 or 8 minute a game guy for now. Will have to wait to see how fast they can mature. I would play Whalley more than Polley at this point. Anderson doesn't offer much other than some defense and adequate ball handling. Kwintin got some time tonight. He is a project - not ready to do much accept receive ally-oop pass for a dunk at this point. Cobb was okay but not impressive. I think Ollie will keep rotation tight when season starts and games matter. Larrier, Adams, Gilbert, CV will get the most time by far. Playing time for Cobb, Whalley, Polley, Carlton, and Diarra will be tough to predict. May be a lot of situational decisions for Ollie and will depend on who pulls away from the pack as the season progresses. We will be reasonably competitive in most games this year but number of wins... I'm guessing 17 to 19 wins. [/QUOTE]
