With Osun disappearing of late anyone else think we're going to see our normal short roster most of the games. So Jaz at 5 and King at 4. It just seems like Osun isn't in shape or something because he just isn't doing some basics that require just a little movement like getting rebounds out of his area or seeking people to box out.

I want to see Kunc take as many shots as he did today, every game. He’s easily our most consistent shooter and also our best rebounder. If Tre King can defend(assuming that won’t be an issue, having been with TJ for a full year) and rebound, I’d love to see a lot of Tre and Kunc at the 4 and 5.

He's not overly athletic, strong, or aggressive. He is tall and has some offensive skills. I'm surprised he was such a high volume shot blocker at St Bonaventure. He doesn't appear to have good timing on blocks. And he's not around the basket as much as I expected. This team will be offense by committee every game. We won't know who is going to show up from game to game.

He must really be awful on defense to not be getting any meaningful minutes, because offensively I think he’s solid.

Am I the only one who's not really seeing this? He was a little weird handling the ball, and has thrown some pretty bad passes in other times.

Was nice for him to hit a 3 but I'm not seeing him being able to get a shot off in normal game situations with that release.

We've heard that his handle is not PG level at this level, and we saw some of that tonight. He's a combo guard with athletic upside, just needs some polish and strength.

And obviously it'll be great if he comes along as a big player later but these calls for him like it will make a difference vs. who's available don't make sense right now.

Big part of that is Lipsey has surpassed expectations and then the experience of the others.
