I don’t think setting Knecht expectations is fair, obviously that drill doesn’t show what a player can do off the bounce, or play making etc, but as a shooter he appears to look the part early on.

Having 2 very efficient scorers in Lanier and Dubar combined with Igor's versatility looks very promising with ZZ running the show. Also, I think Estrella and Okpra will surprise us with their development and how effective they can platoon the center position.

Has anyone found any video from this game?

NBC is going to be puzzled when it gets super high ratings for all of the Poland basketball games.

“Wow, must be a big Polish contingent in the Knoxville market…”

“Iggy Pops a 3!”

Test running my phrases for the upcoming season.

Igor will be just as big in the success of Tennessee as Lanier will.

Hell, I’d maybe argue he’s the most important of the transfers. His versatility on both ends will be huge and if he can knock down catch and shoot 3s with consistency, he could end up being our best all around player next season imo.

Would he be able to hold up defensively as a small ball 5 in certain matchups or no? If he could, those lineups could be devastating offensively.

From our reporters/insiders, the staff thinks he can guard 3-5 on defense.

He will not disappoint!

100%. We have not had someone with his size and skillset at the 4 in a very long time...I am very optimistic that it translates well to this level of competition.

If Estrella can limit the off ball defensive lapses, he has the chance to be really good imo

He’s the sleeper in this subset of rotation players. He’s an extremely hard-working, intelligent player with excellent skills to not make an impact this year. It won’t surprise me if he produces beyond what some folks are projecting for him.

Would like him to get to gel with our team, but it’s hard to see this as anything other than a good thing

Ernie Grunfeld and Pat Summitt were Olympic representatives for UT. I can’t remember if there were other men Vols. I’m pretty sure there were other Lady Vols (and Geno screwed at least one of our greats over by not selecting her when he was the coach).

Allan Houston, unless you were talking strictly during their college career while playing on the Olympic team.

He could be a stud but with Barnes you gotta play defense haha. Don't think he doesn't play defense but off ball gotta be better. Once he gets that it's going to be hard to take him off the floor at the 4 or 5

I’m looking forward to JP vs Aidoo at some point. Gonna get nasty down low.

No, I’d include at any point. I’d forgotten about Houston in 2000. I’d guess that there were more former Lady Vols than current LVs that participated.
