Love the movement without the ball.
Good movement stresses defenses which in turn makes them less effective on the offensive end.

These guys have comparable talent to that 2004 team that earned a #1 seed. They have more depth as well. If they come together quickly and develop cohesion, I could them knocking on the door of the top 10 and a possible 2-3 seed.
For one thing, there's competency and depth at every position. We basically have 10 guys who would be rotation pieces for any program in the nation. That in itself means we'll be able to stay with most opponents. Defensively, we could become elite by year's end.

Like incorporating the back door cuts to our offense.
I love that move Perry made on him. I would love to see those two face off 1 v 1.
I love the pieces on this team. And the coaching. I think we're in for a pleasant surprise this year. We won't win them all of course but I'm ready to watch every second of it. I think Pope will prove worthy of the job.
Backdoor cuts? What is this sorcery? Mark Pope must be a powerful wizard and a colossal repository for knowledge of arcane magics.
look at that, teaching the team to pass the ball. pretty nice since passing was optional for the past 15 years lol.
Watch that clip again and pay attention to Travis Perry finding space to get a bucket. Again the kid can score. He is not just a shooter. He is a scorer.
Yep Perry got a deep bag people are going to be very happy watching him play. He is looking to get buckets on anyone.
We might see some fundamentals this year
Am I wrong but it seems like all the coaches are helping instruct. I thought the assistants were suppose to watch from the sidelines and chew gum.
If you watch BYU games from last year, movement is 100% key to Pope's offensive style - with lots of screens and fake by the players.
Now Pope is up and saying that Williams at times looks like a man among boys. Said he has great inside moves and can score, a great passer and another level type of rim protector that can switch and guard any of the five positions. Pope said that he will give his teammates comfort knowing they have a guy that good that can cover for them if they get beat.
100%. You don’t break the state scoring record that has stood for nearly 70 years as a JUNIOR without being an all-level scorer. People compare Perry to Reed but honestly, his game is more like a shorter Antonio Reeves. Just a born scorer from anywhere on the court.
Right? If Bruiser doesn’t have an NIL deal with Wrigley’s, his agent is asleep at the wheel.
He may have struggled with Cal due to the "go make a play" offense when guarded by SEC level athletes while on an island.
Pope runs good offense to get guys open though, think he will flourish in time.
Don't forget that Cal's famous tweak was to basically "pass one or two more times a game."
YES, and I love how Pope fully understands how to utilize his whole team to help toward that goal, like the 96 team he captained. Total madness how much talent the other ahem, coach wasted. I absolutely could not stand the standing around on offense for the last 15 years.
Underrated comment here, this was a HUGE problem for the last 15 years and there are still people dying on the hill that it wasn't, like teamwork doesn't matter if you have "THAT" guy.
