Got to Iona at 2PM, and the guys took the court at 3:30PM. Nice timing on my part. I'll start with some negatives:
*Schedule still not close to being finished. But I guess it's possible that I was told that to shut me up.
*I have never been at a Monday practice, but today the team didn't seem to have as much energy as they did in the two practices that I had witnessed, previously. The energy level seemed to go up when they closed the workout with a scrimmage.
*No AJ, and I think that also contributed to my take on the energy level.
Now for the positives:
*The two freshmen are looking more comfortable, and shooting much better.
*The big guy runs the court well, though not as fast as Bessick. JW has a nice shooting touch.
*The most improved o/s shooter, by far imo, is Kelvin Amayo. He's really expanded his game.
*Ibn is working out, shooting around, though not running. Rydien is walking around, so I'm hoping that come October, both should be playing.
I'm running out of time so I'll close by commenting on the game. Game was, first to 40.
the rosters:
Team A-IW, CC, KA, Bessick and Benji.
Team B-The two frosh, JW, AR and Much.
The game was won by Team B, 40-32, as Much hit a three to end it. I'm sure that Much led his team in scoring, probably in the high teens. And Kelvin was high for Team A, scoring also in the high teens. I'm confident in naming the high scorers, less confident in their point totals. That's it, gotta run.
