Hey coach, you asked me to give you my thoughts on how everyone looked after the offseason and I think I've seen enough to do that. I only jotted down things that stood out to me...
Jermaine French: defensive fundamentals: limited upside low post moves: limited upside speed: limited upside
[with LP being at 65, that'll hurt his scoring for the rest of his career]
Leroy Henry: athleticism: limited upside ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside low post moves: limited upside passing: limited upside perimeter shooting: limited upside rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside stamina: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside
[no surprise, he's been topped off here]
Abraham Hodges: athleticism: limited upside ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside passing: limited upside perimeter shooting: limited upside rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside
[that leaves...low post moves]
Leon Jones: ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside passing: limited upside speed: limited upside
[I'm hoping I can get a lot more stamina/athleticism from him, and some more LP and FT shooting wouldn't hurt, either. The only slightly disconcerting area of limited upside is in passing. I mean, speed would be nice, but not necessary, and he's topped out on defense.]
Daniel Koualeski: durability: big upside stamina: big upside ft shooting: limited upside [we'll just have to see how this plays out] John Lee: athleticism: limited upside ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside low post moves: limited upside passing: limited upside perimeter shooting: limited upside rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside stamina: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside
[completely topped off. I'll be lucky to see 8 points of improvement from him over the course of the year]
Glenn Montero: ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside passing: limited upside rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside [still room to improve in perimeter, which is the important one for him. Athleticism, too. I wish he could speed up but I knew that when I recruited him.] William Noah: athleticism: limited upside ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside low post moves: limited upside passing: limited upside perimeter shooting: limited upside rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside stamina: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside [looks like everything]
Roger Rumfelt: athleticism: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside low post moves: limited upside passing: limited upside perimeter shooting: limited upside rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside [looks like everything]
Albert Traylor: rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside [obviously he has some growth in him. Too bad about rebounding, though.]
Richard Whittaker: athleticism: limited upside ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside low post moves: limited upside passing: limited upside perimeter shooting: limited upside rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside
[hmm, topped out. That's too bad.]
Dennis bishop: ball handling: limited upside low post moves: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside [walk-on. Who cares?] Anyway, maybe some guidelines for practice time? If I notice anything else, I'll let you know.
