Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 5111553, member: 880"] First game so some observations are far too small sample size... But. Reed needs to start instead of Samson. Not because Samson did anything wrong per say, but because Reed makes the offense flow better, is a better rebounder, and will be the better overall defender. I think we'll see this change sooner rather than later. Mahaney didn't do much but he should be the starter. He'll give us a better offensive weapon and Diarra off the bench gives you juice and a spark. Liam is an absolute stud. Anyone who questioned him (and there were some) after the URI just doesn't get it. Sorry. Dude was hitting 3's, rebounded, defended, connected, and probably hit more off hand shots in a game then I can remember any of our players, kinda, ever. If he hits his free throws he goes 20-10 in his college debut? Solo is a star in the making. He'll be a low teens scorer this year and if he sticks for a third year, could become a Ben/Beal/Donovan Mitchell type smaller 2G scorer who could push the lottery. AK... Nothing needs to be said. Abraham will be a player in time. He's got a certain something that I really like. I don't think he'll see many minutes this year but he's got a nice future as that intangible guy to support the stars. Okay, so now the thing that I'm "worried" about. We have great depth in terms of numbers and talent. But we need a wing to be a dependable scorer/shooter off the bench. Stewart is not a guy you can depend on to hit shots and he looked careless with the ball. I'm curious if Ross was available if he would have been the first wing off the bench. [/QUOTE]
