Message: [QUOTE="Jimdish255, post: 2429605, member: 137"] A lot of our guys are still shaking off the rust and getting to know each other. I believe all of our guards have been sorting out their roles and the last game started to settle into them. Vital and Gilbert took steps forward and Jalen did not try to take over the game because it wasn't necessary. Jalen, Alterique, Christian and Antwoine ALL have better games in them but the key will be through defensive effort, driving to the basket and smart play. In other words let the game come to you but use your teammates before you start jacking 3's. Jalen may be a little more aggressive to the rim in this game. Feeding Onuorah early could pay off as well. Green light for Terry all day until they stop him. I might have Andersen and Gilbert in Pritchard's pocket early to see if either can throw him off. Let Jalen focus energy on offense but be in the passing lanes and ready for transition. He'll need to take a little more of a leadership role and I think he will, but Larrier and Anderson both bring their own type of leadership which was lacking last year. If all of those things happen and we shoot half decent from the perimeter when necessary and others chip in a little no reason we can't pull it off regardless of the Cobb injury. It's good to have numbers again. [/QUOTE]
