Thought BJE looked good from the practice videos I saw. I’ve never seen him play in person but looks better than I thought, has good size and a nice quick release on his jumpshot. Think he’ll end up being a really reliable three point threat in time. Barnes has clearly been impressed by him as well from his comments.
Phillips said he’s already added about 12 pounds, and Barnes reallyyy raved about how hard Phillips has been working in the weight room, constantly seeking Grant Medenwald on his own.
Nkamhoua’s jumper looks really good. Mashack looks like the lockdown defender he was billed to be, hope his offense comes around.
Couple interesting things from the interviews, players mentioned they’d been practicing some with a shorter shot clock then the 30 secs to try and get them to play faster. Barnes admitted they’d shoot just as many, probably more threes then last year. One area Barnes seems to think will very key in the success of the team will be rebounding and I couldn’t agree more. Barnes said they’d been experimenting with a five guard lineup, but it’ll of course depend mainly on if that lineup can defend enough if it’ll be employed
Can’t wait for the season, just a few weeks away
