Bummer to hear that Harley hasn't been with the team because of back issues. Man, I hope he beat these injuries.

It's cool to hear how clear it is that Simmons is the team leader. So looking forward to seeing him play.

Also good to get some info on the freshmen.

Love the prevailing theme of that update - Ball Movement and sharing.

And thank God for Jason Arkley.

I wonder how happy Saul was that Harley chose to go home for treatment rather than stay on campus. This seems like an experiment that's played out and both parties might want to move on.

Something I've been finding interesting is the description of Gollon and Block. Based on what we saw and read, I thought Block might be the guy who gets a lot of PT. Now it sounds as if Gollon may be the more explosive, and ready player. Either way, I'm excited to see this group develop into Saul's team!

Agreed. Everything I read from high school was that Block was more "polished" but it has been the opposite this summer. Part of that might be because Gollon had much less press coming out than Block did. Gollon put up HUGE numbers compared to Block but was in a less basketball-crazed area than Block was. Gollon's high school team wasn't good while Block's was making deep playoff runs.
Excited to see how Saul uses all these guys who seem more to his style of play.

Might have something to do with their body types as well. Looks like Block could use a lot more meat on him.

Exactly what I was thinking. Block might have a more polished understanding of the game, but his body just might not be there yet.
