So far Stanford looks like an energetic yet naive bunch buzzing around; occasionally looking effective but occasionally looking a bit clueless. There is the question as to why they still look this way years into Dawkins's tenure (or why Jarrett Mann is starting), but the season's young yet and I suppose we'll see how things turn out. As to specific players:

--Bright had an impressive first half, scoring 10 points in a variety of ways--off-the-dribble, off-the-jump-shot. Pressure unnerved him a bit too often for my taste, but overall I'm willing to give the thumbs up.

--Huestis looks highly athletic and is much smarter about deploying that. His wingspan is absurdly unfair and if he makes the transition to the perimeter successfully, could become a poor man's Andrei Kirilenko for us.
