Had a great seat for the carnage. What struck me during warm ups was how big and strong SC looked compared to us....lots of older grown men out there. Player observations:
1. Reeves. Just not an elite athlete, which we already knew. Poor lateral quickness and got owned taking it to the hoop. Crafty shooter. Shot it poorly tonite.
2. Edwards. He gets the spectator award along with another guy (Reed). Just seemed to be an observer out there. Doesn't look like he's in great shape. Why he got 23 minutes is beyond me.
3. Bradshaw. I thought he was awful. Gets pushed around with ease.
4. Mitchell. Crafty but not very athletic. Played decent.
5. DJ. Took a lot of poor shots...doesn't look for shooters when he drives the lane and it isn't there. Not as athletic in person as I thought he'd be.
6. Dilly. Of all our guys, he's the only one who looked the part of a sure fire NBA prospect. Great hops and athleticism. Shot the ball well. A few bonehead plays of course.
7. Sheppard. Did absolutely nothing. Looked scared when he got in the game. Never seemed to want the ball. Looked like a 4 year guy. He's not exactly cut up himself and needs to drop a few pounds and work on his body.
8. Ugonna. He's was terrible.
9. Z ....Looked like a guy who thought it was going to be easy and found out he was in a rock fight. 10 minutes? C'mon Cal he's your best big.
Gotta give SC some props...they shot the ball extremely well and fed off the home crowd. Better days ahead for the Cats hopefully, but this was a reality check in terms of our ceiling. Cal needs to determine how he wants to play. The two 7 footers on the floor (wrong ones of course) experiment was a disaster.
