Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 5111645, member: 21"] Game 1. Lot of good things and some areas of improvement. Much of what we see now is not what we'll see when BE season begins and in March. Also, it's just 1 game. A player that shows a lot more as the season goes on, might have an off night. Can't draw too many conclusions. With that said: McNeeley looks like the real deal. Not only can stroke it from deep, but can put it on the floor and take it to the rim or score from midrange. Sees the floor well, dishing the ball to open teammates for better scoring opportunities. Reed looks like an excellent rebounder. A little unrefined at the rim, rushing it a bit. I'm sure Hurley and staff will coach him up. I have a feeling he's going to help give us some additional offensive opportunities with his offensive rebounding, which can be huge. Mahaney seemed to be tad slow with his decision making when he receives the pass in the half court set. He's still learning the system, but would like to see him more decisive, something to keep an eye on. He'll probably be fine and it's just a matter of reps and confidence. Ball and AK were outstanding and seemed decisive on offense. AK had a block party. Showed that in last year's tournament. He's more athletic than most give him credit for. Just needs to continue to work on his lateral movement. He's quick to the ball when opponents go up for their shot. I think we'll be fine at all positions even the 5. This team looks dangerous. Would not be surprised if they lose a few tough BE games, but by BET time this team will be poised for another conference tourney and national title. [/QUOTE]
