After 8 games it's pretty simple to me what the team is or isn't. We are simply one offensive player short.
I really thought we'd have 2 dynamic guards in Boatright and Purvis--2 guys capable of putting in 20 points on any given night--both able to avg 16-17 a night. A Batman and Robin that "could" lead us far.
I think we've gotten more than we expected out of Hamilton and Facey--which is great--a nice + to the group.
That Amida would improve and give a nice impact in almost every game--I think that he will for the most part.
That Terrance Samuel and Phil Nolan would take steps forward--rather they have taken steps back but that can be okay and we can work with it.
That Omar Calhoun a year after injury would return and give us a Kromah type role and Cassell a few quick hits a game. Again something we can manage one way or the other
Summary while Hamilton and facey both have given us great production--really A+ production--we simply need what KO said Purvis was. Every good team we have had has Robin's. If Purvis isnt Robin---all the other stuff wont matter. The whole gig is on Purvis. We can live with Nolan and Samuels being defensive guys but we need Purvis to be a big time consistent offensive piece.
