I don't know why post defenders play Collins for anything but his righty hook shot, he does it all the time. It's nice, though.

It'd be awesome if Branham could string these games together. His handles are superior coming in as a rookie. He's busting his butt on defense. Overshadowed by his teammate, he's advanced a lot these few months.

Man, I miss the excitement of Wesley in his first couple games. He's way behind the other two. Understandable, of course. But I'd love to see that burst and aggression.

I really don't need to see KBD play thirty minutes a game.

Malaki getting 22 pts and 5 assists in a close game is encouraging. As mentioned in another thread, I expect him starting by 2nd half of next season (unless we drafted Wemby or Scoot). I like Malaki’s demeanor and poised, not hurried. He has range and ability to pick and pop from long range. I notice Malaki thrives under pressure better, and it should help his development. I wish Tre well, but this should be a good opportunity for Malaki to get more playing time, likewise Blake in that regard.

Collins again getting more and more confident with playing offense. His defense is a little sketchy, but I’m not worried.

I wish Sochan and Tre well.

Have to say, I'm not missing Langford at all.

He's injured a lot so I don't know if he's really injured or they are just keeping him out of the line up for whatever non injury related reason (tanking), although they can still tank with him in the line up as well. With CIA pop running the show, you just never know.
