Yeah, those are some of my favorite players.

When he was on the floor we went on runs. I think he out played Redding in the first half. Someone q up the stats.
I think Moemeka would really help on the glass if he could play.

2 games down. 2 good games by Kelly. He's not trying to do too much and is piling up the assists.

After battling the sling TV install poop, I got to watch the the last hour and a half.
James looked like his ankle feels good. Attacked well, lost some stuff with his hands. His feet are fine.
Herndon is a defender. A very good one
The red bomber is playing like he doesn't realize he has red hair. It's total bitching, and crazy at the same time. His distance is what has me going "wtf".
Maldenado is good... He does not look like a freshman. By the end of the year he could be close to 12 points a game... Easy.
I can't wait for Mack.
Our defense is better than it was last year... At times. We have bad lapses... But it's hard to pass floor lvl against us. Passes take longer over the top for catch and shoot. We close out better.
Waiting for more dunks.
Like our team. Want to win the caymen.

After watching three games here is my take on the team...
Dalton and James- should play 32-36 mins a game. When both these guys are on, we are nearly unstoppable. Dalton has an amazing feel for the game and James is true slasher who can score in so many ways
Herndon- Herndon has had one good half out of 6 so far, but showed what he could do last night in the second half. He can be a lock down defender and shot blocker and can shoot the three. If he has good games, this team will be lethal.
Maldonado- This kid is a mix between James and Josh Adams. He oozes potential and does a bunch of little things right. He will be the star of the team come Junior year.
Redding and Kelly- These boys are pretty much interchangeable. Kelly has played very well in the last two games. The key job for these guys is to take care of the ball, limit turnovers and take open shots and sink them when they are available.
Moemeka- Moemeka has the most upside of anyone on this team. He can clean the glass, have freakishly athletic put backs and be a beast blocking shots. He isn't a huge option offensively, other than with put backs, but he is damn good at that
Naughton- A big center that is out of place in a stretch 4 kind of offense. Should only play to bang with other real big men in games where we need a real big man in the paint
Buddha Jones- He looks to have some skill, but hasn't shown a ton of great play yet. I think he is good for 5-8 mins a game. Not a liability out there, just hasn't shown he deserves more minutes.
Louis Adams- If there is a ball hog on this team, this is the guy. Has potential,but is so focused on going straight to the rack and creating a foul or putting it in, he doesn't look for a dish. If he can figure this out, and stop fouling three point shooters, he can earn a little more PT
Aka Gorski- Was on fire his first game then hurt. He looks quicker out there. We know what we get from him. If he is on, ride him hard, if he is off, he rides the bench hard. Looks better defensively as he seems quicker
Mack- Please heal up quick. You could make this team into a sweet 16 team. If you are true to your ranking, you and Maldonado are gonna be studs!
Mueller- see Budha Jones. Good player, just needs more time
Averbuck- Good practice player. Walk on for a reason

VTpoke - nice. I agree except for Lou. Lou has been playing well on offense - I definitely wouldn't say selfish at all. He's shooting better than 50%. Lou can shoot all he wants and he's one of the only ones that consistently attacks the dish.
As for his defense? Except for the fouls (many of which have been bull crap) he plays with great intensity. I think Lou is focused and is going to have a great year

I didn't realize he was shooting better than 50% from the field. He has the ability to be one of our best players, especially as a lock down kinda guy. He is our 2nd most athletic guy on the team. It's just his one or two really dumb plays a game that unfortunately sour my opinion towards him.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 8:28 am VTpoke - nice. I agree except for Lou.

He plays too out of control. I like him and I think he can provide a spark off the bench for us especially in games where things might not be going well but I don't want to have to rely too heavily on him.Vt poke wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 8:56 amI didn't realize he was shooting better than 50% from the field.

I agree with you about Lou. I love how he attacks the basket. He made a couple nice drives last night and made the baskets and he got fouled on another and knocked down his ft's. He just needs to get his fouling under control but I like what he brings to the team.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 8:28 am VTpoke - nice. I agree except for Lou.

I like Lou’s aggression and athleticism but once he gets it in mind he’s going to the rim, he’s going to the rim come hell or poop shot. If he found a way to drive and dish, he’d become a huge asset

He plays WAY too out of control. He is a valuable member this team and has the potential to be a beast but he can't get out of his own way. He plays so out of control and gets himself in bad positions which usually leads to fouls or turnovers. IF he can reign himself in, he will be a monster.

Yes. More of a stab at Junky and his love for all things Cody Kelly. That said, with Mack supposedly out for an extensive period of time, we don't have many options at PG...
Dear Karma,
I have a list of people you missed...

If I were the coach.. I would play Redding 25 min and Kelly 15. This could vary, of course, depending on who's hot
