J Stew impressed me

He looked outside the rotation to me. Didn't do much until that garbage time 3rd period.

May just take longer after that injury and arriving late.

He made a very impressive move in the 2nd period. With someone like him I’m looking for the ability. He has it. He’s going to be a solid rotation piece come BE play

Castle looks incredible going towards the rim. Ceiling will be determined by his shot.

Newton looks ready to leap into stardom based on these last 2 open scrimmages.

The freshmen are all impressive athletically, big potential. Thought Singare looked farther along than the St Joes version.

Spencer is automatic when open, but got beat a few times on D.

Quiet night for Samson, but he’s embracing being a big, which I like.

Quiet night for Alex, but he’s automatic when open too. Probably awkward playing right after your wisdom teeth get pulled. I’m sure we’ll see more new developments in his game once the season starts.

Hurley is a funny guy.

Wouldn't worry about Alex. You could see him defering most of the night to yoinger guys, especially Castle. That won't happen come game time.

I would say it's less important he is in the rotation right now than it is he can contribute when we have those 3-4 games where injuries and foul trouble make the bench real short.

I like him over Diarra

You're comparing a 1 and a 3/4. You didn't answer though. Who are your 9? I suspect his best shot at time will be backing up Karaban because we really don't have one if Johnson is playing like a pure big.

Newton
Cam
Castle
Karaban
Clingan

Stewart
And? I assume Johnson and Ball.

So you'd sit Ross, Singare, Diarra, and the Greek?

Ball,Newton, Spencer, and Castle can handle the ball handling duties. There’s room for Stewart if Diarra falls out of the rotation. His talent is going to make it hard to keep him on the bench

Ball as the only guard off the bench could get ugly. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Ross looked ( and has looked) much more prepared than Stewart to me.

Stagger Newton and Castle.

And we don’t have to choose between the 2 :)

Didn’t see the scrimmage yet, but yeah there’s 3 ball handlers in the lineup already. We can afford if Ball is the only ball handler off the bench.

4 guys off the bench could definitely be Ball, Ross, Stew, Samson if Hurley decides to go that deep.

Maybe, maybe not. But there's only so many minutes available and Castle and Karaban are probably soaking up 30mpg at the big wing spots. Johnson practiced a bit as a 4 too.
