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...
Charles bane: athleticism: limited upside ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside passing: limited upside perimeter shooting: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside
Scott blakey: ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside low post moves: limited upside passing: limited upside speed: limited upside
James bourget: 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 stamina: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside
[that's too bad, I wish he hadn't topped out on athleticism and perimeter, in particular. Some wiggle room in rebounding would've been nice, too.]
Adam Gill: athleticism: big upside ball handling: limited upside durability: big upside perimeter shooting: limited upside shot blocking: big upside speed: limited upside stamina: big upside
brent Grady: athleticism: big upside ball handling: limited upside defensive fundamentals: big upside low post moves: big upside rebounding: big upside shot blocking: big upside stamina: big upside
brian Hill: athleticism: big upside ball handling: big upside defensive fundamentals: big upside durability: big upside passing: big upside rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside stamina: big upside
Michael Holcomb: 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 ft shooting: limited upside
[so I can still help him in speed, stamina, and ballhandling. Good stuff.]
Jonathan Knipp: defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside low post moves: limited upside rebounding: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside
[meaning we can help speed, athleticism, stamina, shot blocking, and passing...all of which have a good base from which to work, already. Too bad about FT shooting, though.]
James Marshall: ball handling: limited upside durability: limited upside passing: limited upside perimeter shooting: limited upside rebounding: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside
[speed, athleticism, stamina, defense, and now low post will be the focus for Marshall this season.]
Terry McClure: 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
[McClure will be...graduating with honors.]
Harrison Parsons: athleticism: big upside defensive fundamentals: big upside durability: big upside passing: big upside stamina: big upside ft shooting: big upside
Matthew Slick: athleticism: limited upside defensive fundamentals: limited upside durability: limited upside low post moves: limited upside passing: limited upside rebounding: limited upside shot blocking: limited upside speed: limited upside stamina: limited upside ft shooting: limited upside [looks like perimeter and ballhandling for Slick, this year...we'll see how that works out.]
Anyway, maybe some guidelines for practice time? If I notice anything else, I'll let you know.
