First Look

Call me the negative one but this roster will not help CKK get retained.

We have two good players, one who is relatively good but has put on unhealthy weight, and the rest aren’t impressive.

Forgive me for being pessimistic.
Agreed. Athleticism seems below average. They’ll have the opportunity to prove us wrong, but my expectations are low.

First Look

So I think that anyone trying to take anything super deep from a scrimmage highlight reel is reaching. Here's what i took from the video.

* Bear and Bannerbie look like they're in shape, can run the floor, have at least decent hands and footwork and the fact that either can take a couple of dribbles to set a screen off of a dribble hand off will add some motion and wrinkles to our offense. Cherry was jogging a little more than I like to see, but he wouldn't be the first big man to take a break getting back on defense on a fast break.

* No Jalen Hill in the video that I saw. Given how early he was injured last year I was hoping to see him.

* No N'Diaye - I wonder if this means a developmental redshirt is coming?

* Whiting looks like he might have enough of a pulse to spell Dedan for 8-10 minutes a game when needed but he's certainly not my idea of a top of the rotation back up.
