I could not sleep but being in CT for the holiday I got a chance to talk to my uncle ( long time UCONN fan and someone who went to many of the Pro-am games- here are some observations.
The most improved player - by far over the summer is J Lamb. I said "duh" but he replied that I did not understand. He basically said that pros and all he was the best player on the floor most of the time. The other comment was " completely different player" from last year. More confident Ect- he went on and on.
DD- with the arrival of AD DD has not been getting much love the last few weeks. My uncle thinks he will get major minutes this year. Smooth finishing in the paint and his jumpsuit is already at a D 1 level. The kid might be hard to keep of the floor.
R Smith- has added some lbs in the off season. He was a rebounding machine and was guarding a pro player ( can't remember the name) and did a great job. Seems to have made some good strides so that he can fill in at the 4 as well as be the starting 3. Has also worked on his jumper and some O moves around the basket all which seem to improve.
Boat seems to be the typical incoming high level PG- it was hard to tell what he might be able to do this year from the games he saw- very fast.
Bradley seems like he will be the guy as the back up to AD and AO- he has a good JS and can hit the mid range shot. I think he mentioned an effective little jump hook as well. He was blocking some shots as well.
Wolf seems to be a slow white boy- from what I have been hearing he may find it hard to get minutes this year.
On a side note I think AO is going to be a beast this year- with AD taking some of the beating reserved exclusively for AO last year I can see AO having many 15 PPG games- he will be one of the players who will most benefit from the addition of Andre this year.
Please forgive spelling mistakes and all that- it is way to early to be up. I just was hoping for some banter as I am expecting traveling hell tomm getting back to Atlanta from CT with all the storms. Also my girl also seems to get upgraded without me these days and I always seem to get some huge dude who's girth pours over my armrest and into my seat. I can live with that but when did the good ol USA tradition of a daily shower end- just plain wrong. I got the coolest UCONN coaching jacket from my family and I am going to use it as a barrier if needed on the flight. It is also amazing how quickly and the beach communities are repairing damage from the storm. People ar Stannard beach have kicked ass and the place looks great in just a few days.
Good night.
WE ARE DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
