First game I saw in-person (finally!). The good:
The not-as-good:
- Crowd was way fuller/into game than expected. The TV coverage had made it seem like there were a few hundred people there.
- Chasson Randle is a revelation. Quick first step, strong getting the ball up, solid shooting stroke. I know he had 30+ points, but it feels like he could've had more by taking his man off the dribble.
- Huestis looked athletic as always.
- Nastic - really aggressive, strong post moves
The not-as-good:
- God, I hate the 2-3 zone. The rotation always feels slow and #2 on their team got a couple dunks right under the basket when someone forgot to rotate (I think it was Powell).
- What's with Nastic yelling "ball! ball! ball! ball!" over and over every time he has even a little position/is open on the perimeter?
- Powell's foul whine face
- Did Randle ever sit? Felt like he played 40 minutes..!
- Lorenzo Romar - enough said.
