I didn't see either exhibition game but so far I am pleasantly surprised by this team. I guess LA Pratt was pretty bad in the preseason but he's been good in these three warmup wins. Nice drives, a threat from three and hitting his free throws. West is a star, we knew that, but Phoenix Gill has been a pleasant find. He is a threat from the corner with the three and has some floor skills Glad he hung in there this year. Karasinski hasn't played the last two games but we will need him going forward. Gelo made some nice shots tonight. Hope he can get confident with that because we will need him to score some. Rebounding is going to be a huge challenge for this team., but the defense has been pretty good otherwise. Will be very interesting to see what they do against DePaul Friday night.,

Gelo needs to give up on the threes and work on his Brooks/Nick short game. He was decent within about 10 feet or so on his turn around jumpers. He should keep practicing the three, but man I wouldn't have him take a shot unless it's a blowout one way or the other.

Basically the team has three good guards and overall pretty weak inside, Gonna be a long season
