This team will be overpowered inside and struggle to score in the post. No surprise when all the bigs are freshmen.

CJ was CJ. Got to the basket, made free thows, but missed jumpers. Stopped taking jump shots in the second half.
Travis was Travis. Scored inside, made free throws, played hard, but missed jumpers.
Chase was Chase. Played hard, stayed in position mostly, missed jump shots, got beaten on one back-door cut.

Danny Green looked good in his suit. We will miss him this year.

Jones was impressive. Quick on defense, got to the basket a few times, one nice assist, hit a three on an assist from CMM
CMM will be a solid player this year. Scored well. Made a couple of plays with the shot clock going down inc. the assist to Jones.
Adala Moto will be able to defend some and rebound some. Will get a few put-back baskets but I wouldn't count on him to score much this year.
Rountree played only in the later part of the second half. Hit a three from the corner, blocked three shots (may not have gotten credit for one because Cavanaugh got called for blocking), deflected 2 passes out of bounds, and committed 3 fouls (one good, two over-aggressive)
Cavanaugh will not be strong enough to be a good post player. Has trouble getting the ball to the rim in traffic and finishing with contact. Good form on his jump shot, but they didn't fall. Did play without fouling
Thomas is easily our stongest post player but still is not strong enough, showed a good drop step and hustle. Played without fouling. Form on free thows looked pretty good, but the shots didn't drop. (shots didn't drop=recurring theme)
Washington is not polished, but can be a defensive presence if he can be in position. Got a nice put-back basket in traffic. He has lots of potential, next year or year after???

The team came out of time outs and half time running good set plays. Seemed generally to be together as a team. I know some won't want to hear this, but they appear to be well-coached.

Mebane, how can that be hard.  TC dribbled off his foot out of bounds before he could pass the ball to anybody.
