Went to the scrimmage and liked what I saw. It was nice to see multiple players knock down shots from the perimeter and pretty athletic overall.
Some thoughts on the new guys:
Eubanks- Might take a little while for him to adjust to Pac-12 play but I like his upside. Very athletic for a big guy and quick off his feet.
Tinkle- Was pretty solid slashing to the basket. outside shot looked ok.
The Gligster- Didn't notice him much tonight. Big body but Drew was the better of the 2 at least on this night.
Bruce- played well and shot better than I was expecting. Also thought he did a decent job handling the ball.
Thompson-WOW! Trying to temper my optimism but man he had a good shooting night and he has the look of someone who can due that on a regular basis.
Overall I thought they played very well but A lot of the shots were pretty open looks so time will tell.
GP11 looked like he was going through the motion but he is probably the one player who is assured a starting spot. Olaf will be better if the others can knock down shots which will leave a little more breathing room for him to get good looks. He still has a great stroke when open. Malcolm and Langston are very athletic and bring some good qualities. Both are very physical and they can get after it defensively. My big negative with these 2 is that they try and do too much sometimes by forcing things in the lane. They are not bad shooters when they take good shots and a little more patience would help them and the team.
I think the team has a lot of potential and I know people have placed some high expectations on them. These are still 18-22 year old kids so anything is possible (good or bad) on any given day. Here's hoping for some good times in Gill.
GO BEAVS!
