This was a dud all around.  Reed was a very important "discovery" though, so not all is lost.

I am higher on Alex than a C, mostly because of his passing.

Ball - Feels like he gets every single foul called against him.  This game probably started to spiral when he picked up 2 early.  He needs to be on the court to get defensive reps more than anything.  If he's not good defensively, we probably will be mediocre on that end as a team.

The rest is hard to argue.  It's hard to see where we will end up being a top 10 defensive team that is a requisite for winning a championship.

The most frustrating thing about Mahaney was that he is a half step slow in our offense.  There were plenty of times when guys flashed open and he missed or didn't see it.  Everything is just too slow for him right now.  A summer of practice and five games in is now a trend.  I did like some drives early on by him that he failed to finish though.  We need that penetration.

I think if we can stabilize the PG spot we have a chance to score a ton.  We can really shoot it.  Hate counting on having to score in the 80s, but if thats how this year needs to be, we'll need to embrace it.
