Fun,exciting day. Practice /srimmage was held in the new practice facility, very nice. 1. New Guys...The new guys are going to contribute and help. Patrick Mwamba was impressive. At 6'8 he can play inside/ouside offensively and defensively and can shoot the 3. Des Watson, a6'5 nice handle on the ball and can get to the rim not as quick as Marquise Kennedy. Greg Dolan was solid , good ball handler, good passer, decent ability to score and hit the 3 . There was discussion on whether he will start or be the sub for Norris...but either way someone to give Norris a break. Dame Adelekum did not play had an injury, did not look serious as he was walking around normally and riding the bike. Talked to Coach Clemons about him and he said he is to be a presence inside, a legitimate inside guy. Matthew Mortinson will probably not see the floor, did not play in the scrimmage. Miles Rubin. first he is a pretty polished player, the moment did not seem to big for him. He handles the ball well, shoots the ball well, ran the high pick and roll well..and threw down a couple nice dunks. He got schooled by Welch however several times defensively. So could he play and be in the lineup? maybe but I think he has a rookie learning scale to climb especially on defense..He is not as skinny as I thought but probably still needs to put on some pounds. Coach Clemons says he has put on 10 already since graduation. Miles Rubin was a good get and by next year will be a cog in the wheel..this year? may see some minutes.
