Agreed with RadDad here. People want to jump to conclusions on guys. It would be just as easy to say Berggren is junk based on this game, but he obviously is not. So all I'm saying is take mine and anyone else's opinion with a grain of salt. It's just too early.

Things I took from the scrimmage:
Ryan Evans has more offensive confidence than I expected. He was hunting for his shot and for ways to score. If he couldn't do it, that would have been beaten out of him in practice by now. I was far more concerned that he fell asleep on defense a few times. This will keep you on the bench far more than an inability to hit an outside shot. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with his mentality when on the floor.

Rob Wilson is a good garbage player. Goes to the right spots on the floor. Still has that small forward feel to me because he doesn't hunt the outside shot yet. Again, too small of a sample size, but I was watching him more for next year than this one. Still lots of potential, but didn't seem like a defense stretching 2 guard yet. He'll at a minimum be able to be productive in a "little bit of everything" role this year.

Bruiser - very active and long. Nice looking shot. I could see him being a nice hybrid 4 man down the road. Didn't play in the first half, but was first one in off the bench in the second. He'll be a fun matchup type player this year with big potential down the road.

Trevon's left hand looked better. Tough to tell based on competition how much he has improved. I was very surprised to see Bo put him back in with 2 fouls in the end of the first half. Is he preparing Trevon to play through it (unlike any other player on the team) or did he just not care because we were playing Bemidji? Based on Bo's adherence to his own rules at all times, I'm leaning towards the fact that he is going to give Trevon the ultimate green light this year.

J-Bo and Jon were both very active and aggressive offensively. They are looking to put shots up, which is good.

Keaton and Jared both really went to the jump hook. It wasn't falling, but it will. We did a good job of feeding the post in general, even though it often lead to an outside shot.

We really pushed tempo and it appeared to not just be due to the competition, but that the guys really want to. Bruiser even leaked out a couple times. It will be interesting to see if Bo allows that when the competition improves. I guarantee you if we give up an offensive rebound in that situation in the future, smoke will come out of Bo's ears.

Overall, the team looked athletic and pretty disciplined for this time of the year. They seem to like to play together and moved the ball nicely. Roles are pretty clearly defined and we seem to have guys that find ways to score without demanding the ball. I'm excited to see where we go from here.
