Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2429595, member: 1329"] I was going to do a more thorough scouting report thread, but I'll put it in here instead. Oregon Key Traits: [LIST] [*]Speed. They play at a really fast tempo on offense, but not a pressing team. [*]Height on the wing. They'll be one of the taller teams we play all season, although mostly due to especially tall guards and forwards. Good athleticism, too. [*]3-point shooting. They have 7 players who shoot at least 2.5 3's a game, including at least 2 stretch bigs (MiKyle McIntosh and Paul White who does not start). And they make them at a high rate, too. [*]Rest of shooting. They also shoot well from the FT line and the paint, although the paint could be a fluke based on schedule. [*]Inexperienced. They're both a young team AND have a couple transfers as their veterans. They're one of the few teams in the country with less continuity than us from last year. [*]Interior defense. They're top 10 in the country at defending the paint (2pt%) and blocks. They also rebound defensively extremely well. Our buddy Kenny Wooten (of "It's Oregon" fame) is waxing the glass and rejecting everything. Predictably, the midmajors they have been playing have been bombing away from outside instead of venturing into the paint. [*]Depth. They've gone at least 10 deep, but again that probably won't hold against better competition. They've played all blowouts so far, so more run for the end of the bench guys (30+ point leads in all 4 games). [/LIST] Player Scouting: [LIST] [*]Troy Brown Jr. Potential one and done-r. Good shooter, but still adjusting to college 3pt line. Plays both big wing positions (and oddly one lineup where he plays point). [*]Payton Pritchard. Floor general and sniper. Alterique/Antwoine will need to be in his grill all game. I'm sure they'll get up for the challenge. [*]Elijah Brown. Senior transfer combo guard and dead-eye shooter. Was a volume scorer at New Mexico, but more cog now. [*]MiKyle McIntosh. Grad transfer. Stretch big, although struggling a bit with his shot. Decent rebounder and rim protector. [*]Kenny Wooten. Noted above, plays rotation guy minutes but having a big impact defensively when on court. Minimal offensive role. [*]Victor Bailey. Freshman scorer off the bench. Will attempt to score from everywhere and draws a lot of fouls. [*]Roman Sorkin. Starting big. Can actually stretch the floor a bit, too. Has been battling a foot injury. Had a big game against worthless Coppin St, but has done basically nothing else in his career. [*]Paul White. Stretch big off the bench. He has a 88% TS% after 4 games (would be top 10 in the country if he played enough minutes to qualify). [*]Keith Smith. Former top 100 recruit, but hasn't shown much last or this year. Got a token start last game. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
