Random thoughts:
Noah Locke is a far better spot up shooter than off the dribble. He should also retire permanently the runner/floater.
Durugi needs lift and arc on his shot. Basic physics at play.
Mann and Appleby are not particularly good passers and sometimes take ill advised shots. However they play far better without handcuffs on them. The looser they play...almost freelancing....the more effective they are ultimately.
The biggest difference between Castleton and Payne is fire and assertiveness. Far less difference in talent and skill. Payne needs to attack the entire game like he does dunks and blocks.
Fundamentally we still have defensive issues to work out....on ball D, rotations and pick and roll D. But we do have a very disruptive and agitating mentality. We get after it.
Ruzhentsev has been slow to adapt to the speed and physicality of the game but may get there by tourney time.
Osifo is showing promise.
Agree with most, but Appleby not being a great passer. He’s a fantastic passer
