Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 2404267, member: 37"] Too early to know which players will rise above the rest but loved the way Polley was utilized to break the press. Big upgrade over Kentan because Polley has a decent handle. Just learn to pull up when near the basket and kid could be special. He anticipates passes and could get decent steal numbers. My wife saw a pass to Carlton and exclaimed he has terrific hands. I was impressed with her as much as Carlton. It's been a while since we've had a big with the ability to catch well. And he holds his hands above his head when he has the ball. Kid could be a beast if he get's stronger. Anderson is a blue collar player. Love those guys. We'll see what he can give with better competition but he and Vital are JC blue collar type guys. Cobb can box out and if the ball bounces off the rim near him he's much better than Brimah at getting a rebound. But he appears tethered to the ground. He could become a really good playmaker on the offensive end but for every good play he makes he then makes a really boneheaded play. Still Kentan, Brimah and Steve gave next to nothing with passing. I haven't seen Mountain Dew play because had trouble with feed. Liked Whaley in the few minutes I saw him. Kid knows how to play so is not starting off raw. But it remains to be seen if he is skilled or athletic enough to be a factor against better competition. Love the energy of Kwintin. He is Kentan 2.0 without a mid range shot. His energy and heart are there. If he figures out the game I think he and Polley can be excellent players to run a full court press. But that's a big if. I'm both reserved and excited about the team. They haven't played together for a long time and will need time to become familiar with each other. That could make for a long season. On the other hand I think this group gets along well with each other and I can already see some playmaking potential between the newcomers. [/QUOTE]
