Lingering first impressions

[SoufOaklin4Life]

defensive focus for a half improved, but still lapses.
Can we build and sustain defensive effort over the long haul?

ANO is going to be fan favorite, I was impressed.

Bilas made an astute point of his dangerous Chris Jones is off the catch set up jumper. He will have to round out his game to be a steady contributor.

Young is so talented- but those who think he'll finish better at the four are going to be disappointed. He's quick with his feet but not explosive jumping.

We've got weapons and depth... The key is improving and sustaining defensive principles.

ANO sat early with fouls, and I don't think it's any coincidence our defense suffered a bit afterwards.

Wish we could've finished, because I think we would've won.

If Sterling Smith can get his jumper to start falling, I think we will see less of Chris Jones as the year progresses. Chris' defense needs to be improved. It was tough to judge tonight with the floor conditions, but I can see Smith's quickness on defense garnering him more minutes.

We will get better. It is very early and we are assimilating new players. This team is going to be very very good. We have already solved probably the biggest problem of last year namely defensive rebounding.
