    didn't watch the game. Obviously, Sharpe got people excited. I take it he looked smooth, athletic and in control?

    also, were Keon's 11 assists just one of those weird circumstances or was he actually running some offense?

    Hopefully he (SS) can do something similar to this against NBA level talent. Thats the next step.

    Watford, Keon, Shaedon, and Jabari. I'm actually really pumped about our future.

    And Ant is still very young.

    I would like to see Keon and Shaedon starting in the backcourt next game. They can throw lobs to each other among other things.

    This was a great game for young player evaluation. Sarr passed the test in my view tonight

    We'll see what Billups does. He looked good when he had fewer choices last season.

    We need someone off the bench big enough to prevent offensive rebounds. Maybe he's the guy.

    You know there is star potential when a young player makes it look easy. Granted it was not the best competition, but Sharpe showed why there was hype. Of course, he has a ways to go, but damn he looks to have the whole package

    His 11 assists weren't circumstantial or random. That dude should be third on the depth chart behind Dame and Ant... not Brandon Williams.

    Best SG we’ve had since Drexler. He should start. Trade Simons as soon as we can.

    Yeah me too. He was the type of backup center I was looking for on the cheap. Long and a fairly quick jumper for his size.
    He is only going to get better too.

    It's better competition than SL would have been. The guys he schooled tonight were solid Euro pros and that's why they got this game.
