Thought Simmons was way more effective and patient this game. Controlled aggression. Surprisingly good passer. He has a tendency to body up on defense too long after he's beat, which is an open invitation to a whistle. I like that they have him coming off the bench on this team, taking advantage of his energy. Someone mentioned that he looks like a young Michael Finley at times when he's jumping out of the gym. I saw that as well. Can't wait to see him on the big team.
Kyle is a glue guy. He just takes what he's given, and will take it as long as it's available. He will pause just a beat to make a defender commit before he makes a pass, and he's got a real ability to draw fouls. He'll be a guy who helps make a team better in the NBA, which is more than you can expect from a late first rounder. And he needs to shave. Seriously.
Eddie has an absolutely amazing jumper. Seriously. It's as good as anyone's. Too bad that's all he's got.
LJC has as close to zero offensive game as I've ever seen in a player that writes "basketball player" on his W2. How does he not have a single post move?
Cady is really raw. He's James Gist with longer arms. We'll see how he looks next year.
I'm not completely off the Dairis Bertans train, but I'm standing by the door. The guy who was always in front on defense and making good passes stayed in Salt Lake City.
