I can't get over our increase in size and athleticism over the last few years.

Doo was with the scout team today. He looked great playing and didn't appear to be in the doghouse. I assume they were just wanting the other guys to not depend on him because he will have to rest some during the games.

Starters were Reaves, Harmon, Bienemy, Kur and Manek.

Harmon was the clear point guard. JB did occasionally handle the ball but was at the two all of the time. Williams did bring the ball up a few times.

Issanza is huge but looked like a redshirt today on offense but he is working hard so you never know.

I keep hearing AG is redshirting but he is going to be a player. He is already much bigger than this summer although still extremely skinny.

Merritt is a physical guy. He needs to continue to improve.

Kur was hitting shots from 15 feet and closer. He was very active and should be solid for us all year.

Victor is an absolute freak athletically. During a two on one drill they always just threw the ball to the rim for him and he flushed. We haven't had a guy jump like that in years.

Brady has maintained his weight gain and looks to be more cut than this summer. He will be better around the basket with his increased strength.

Molinari is serious about his defense and makes sure the guys know it.
 
With this much length, athleticism and depth, is there a chance that we play some of the "40 minutes of hell" defense???
 
Good stuff, Vbdad! Wish I could go the practices with you.

I like what Molinari brings to this team. With so many newbies on our roster this season, an “up close and personal” coach like him couldn’t come at a better time.
 
Great stuff, do they practice Saturday?
 
I saw most of practice today. I can't add much to VBD's report except to say Victor has a nice outside shot, some reason I expected an undersized inside guy. So much more scoring in this group.

I’d have thought the same thing, always heard he was an above the rim guy but no mention of his shot.
 
Good stuff!
We’ve got some athletes,
I hope we surprise some people this year l!
 
Victor has a very nice shot. In live action I haven't seen him shoot from more than 10 feet though.
 
Thanks for the report! Can't wait for this team.. I haven't been this excited for a team since Buddy's group came in.
 
Really excited about the improved talent, length, and athleticism. Should be a fun season.
 
Excited as well...
Got my tickets to the college HOF games here in KC...

Boomer!
