Austin: Major upgrade from last year, but monopolizes the ball while others stand around. Not much of a shot (How is this possible in the Age of Steph Curry?). Still, he's not bad
Sueing: Good player, but I'd like to see him spend less energy jacking up shots and more energy on everything else.
Bradley: Already one of our best players. Compares with Joe Shipp, but a little shorter.
Kelly: Looks smaller and more mobile than I had expected. Future star, if he plays his cards right.
Vanover: Already runs better than he did in his HS video. Goal this year should be to keep his feet and legs from chronic injury and then he will help, down the road. Could develop into a crowd favorite. Crowds on the road will probably enjoy him, too.
McNeill: Like last year, looks clueless for too many long stretches, on both ends of the court. He and the staff have known for the last 10 mos. that he was going to play off the ball this season. Is it rocket science?
Anticevich and Gordon: Had a lot of their minutes while I was getting my daughter to go to bed, but I could tell by the score that they didn't do much tonight.
Erving: I always wondered why he never played last season. Now I get it. Geez, he gets stripped and doesn't even make an effort to follow the guy down the court?
Overall defense: We're always 1/2 step out of position on defense (or more). That and no rim protection is a bad combination. Staff needs to simplify and teach. Getting JHD and maybe Davis back will help.
Overall offense: We can't shoot and we struggle to play as a team, but we knew this before.
Overall overall: Some of us are already giving up and getting sarcastic. I prefer to watch the bright spots. There are a few. Hoping to see togetherness and modest improvement, going forward.
