Game 1 evaluations

STOCK UP

- Kemba played well, struggled shooting but constantly created his own shots, really what we need. Good defense, few steals really looked comfortable in stretch when he was required to carry the team. Passing was good, only 2 assist but didn’t really get time with any other players who could score.

18pts 2 assist 1 steal 3 reb and 0 turnovers. (had a +16 pt difference +/-)

- D.J. white- solid game on both ends, just a fundamental player always in right place. Deserves role min if play continues.

8 pts 6 reb

-Derrick Brown aka UPS- double-double decent play all points were putbacks or fast breaks but played hard. Can contribute for energy min, same player you remember from previous stint with us. With start tonight I feel like he tried to hard cant create for himself too much dribbling. But not bad.

10pts 10 reb

- Borris Diaw- I really think he looked great out there tonight. He played with some initiative, rare for him but he took the shot when open and drove the lane kicked to shooters decent defense and help on reb. Very happy with his play.

12pts 3 reb

- Taylor griffin- played really hard, solid energy helped keep offense fluid without scoring. If he plays like tonight he has a outside chance at roster spot.

2pts 2 reb

-Gerald Henderson- played well on offense, showed improvements on range and looked comfortable, felt like he struggled on some defense but had bad matchups in post with joe Johnson and marvin Williams.

8pts

STOCK DOWN

- Tyrus- a lot of bad shots, not all his fault but played well on defense, unfortunately got hurt (asprained ankle) should be ok though. Needs more discipline on offense.

6 pts (3-14fg) 9 reb

- D.J Augustine- poor performance, if he wants to hold kemba off he needs to play better all-around bad. Horrible ball command.

7pts (2-9fg) 6 turnovers

- Gana Diop- out of shape still no offense and now no defense. No excuses its sad to see him on the court unless he played for other team. Always out of position just too slow to react.

0pts 7 reb 2blocks

Everyone else didn’t stand out either way,

- muhammed didn’t do much

- Uzoh- played decent, solid defense ran breaks, but only played 8min

- Carroll- played ok, can still shoot

as a team shot poorly, really need more shooters, Carroll, kemba and dj are the only shooters henderson appears to have the range now but still needs to be proven consistant. defense was good, high energy all night from almost everyone. overall good game, got the win, no major injuries
