Reggie did look good, particularly in the 2nd half.  Of course, a lot of guys looked really good.  Ricardo Johnson's back looked all healed.

Agreed.
I see Reggie getting to the free throw line (and making those) a ton.

Reggie, yes -- but Ivo looked to cover the floor soooo much better. To me, he is key.

Reggie looked tough down low and I liked him getting those offensive boards and going back up.  Ricardo was the one whom impressed me the most.  Ivo started slow but the second half was better for him.  

The one whom kicked some serious butt was Jon Smith.  A defensive beast to be reckon with.  I am excited to see what becomes of him this season.

Depends on what you mean. Yes, Ivo is better getting up and down the court, but that's not Reggie's job. He's the closest thing we have to a banger. And Reg had a sweet outlet pass off a rebound that triggered a fast break. I LOVE big men who can do that.

Last year, Big Reg hit his free throws when it counted.

Imo, the only thing stopping Reggie from having a big year are his hands.  At times last year, it appeared they were made of stone.  If they softened up and are ready to handle some hot passes from DJ & Co., I see 11-12 PPG, easy.

Reggie, Ivo and Smith proved they can play with anyone or atleast hold their own enough to let the backcourt do its damage. Are biggest problem is the defensivve glass. We limit second chances we should be very tough.

Reg's got a nice touch off the glass and definitely has worked on his FTs. He comes in and gets late tough mins and points - which is huge.

Smith is sort of a disaster on offense, handling the ball and catching. But he's even better than I expected on D with blocks and steals so far. Long arms help.

With the discussion of Reggie being the big man who can 'bang' down low, and Ivo running the floor, along with Jon Smith's defense, where do we foresee Kadeem Green fitting into the picture?

Once again our success will be with perimeter shooting an overall defense.
Our inside game is a weakness both on D and O.
We could add transitional strength to our game but we will be struggling when it comes to an inside presence.

Kadeem's 6'8" 210 and hasn't had too much of a college career to analyze.

This is from the official site:

"Green is a big-time athlete that runs the floor and can finish inside with athletic scoring moves. He has demonstrated on numerous occasions an ability to get to the rim off the dribble and out-pace opponents in transition. His great length (7-1 wingspan) allows him to be a factor on the glass at both ends of the floor.

Green has a “basketball body” that with continued growth and development in the weight room will pay dividends. He has shown an ability to score in the post with good strength and has comfortable shooting range out on the perimeter. His athleticism allows him to defend both forward positions."

Some unbelievable strength shown by Reggie today. Power up several "and ones" that he would have never made in previous years. Pretty obvious that he's hit the weight room hard in the offseason!
