Brock University report and preseason analysis
Starting 5
Ainge--same Ainge a little more tan Balderson--didn't get any quicker in the offseason Cummard--a little buffer Keena--finishes everything Plaisted--same Plaisted. almost had a monster dunk in traffic after a foul but couldn't quite get to the rim off the bench in general order with evaluations Rose--hit 3 3's Malaman--same Malaman Broadus--same Broadus, was a little interesting that he didn't start. not sure what that means Burgess--same Burgess, feisty and hustles on D but no confidence on O Vuk--very nice player. Big body but his head is too small. Rebounds and scores inside. Has some bulk--body a lot like Miles maybe a little buffer. Cameron--very interesting player. Not a twig like Cummard. Might be a step slow to play 2. He's kind of a more athletic Balderson. Had a nice looking quick release on his 3 pointer that he made. Bricked two free throws. Made a dumb, Brian Taylor type pass. I'm excited about this guy's future, but not ready right now. Tavernieri--didn't do much. Shorter than I expected. Not a shot he doesn't like but he's not ready for D1 yet. Murdock--adequate point but hope he doesn't ever have to play much, but with what we have he probably will have to next year McGregor--I love the reports from CB on this guy. He's a big, white stiff that's probably a good practice player but that's about it. This game was over as fast as it began. Coach gave the young kids a lot of PT. Vuk is the only new guy who will contribute on this team, but that will be as a backup and maybe 15 minutes a game. Our weakness will be on the wing. Balderson and Cummard now are experienced enough but lack of athleticism at those positions will hurt us. Might look at going Broadus-Ainge in the back court. I wouldn't mind Rose getting a lot of time at the 2. This is going to be a very good team because the returning nucleus is good, but don't count on the new guys much. |

I watched the game and pretty much agree. Should be an interesting season.

Broadus is nursing an injury, that's why you didn't see him start and play very much.
