I too have only seen a few games but the 3 returning players (not including Murrell who is injured) have carried the team. Dartis’ return is a pleasant surprise and Preston has developed into an elite point guard. VanderPlas is improved as well. Of the newcomers, McDay has looked good. Okbonda has played many minutes but hasn’t stepped up as a scorer or rebounder. Roderick and Price have just returned and, if we are to be any good, they will have to contribute significantly. Also Miles Brown, when he returns, will have to become an adequate replacement for Preston for us to surprise everyone including ourselves and have a great year. I would predict that Foster will see increased playing time since he is looking more comfortable and has been rebounding well.
We have all struggled to find out when injured players will return so we can see how they fit in. At the risk of making a too-early observation, this looks like a well-coached team. When you consider how short a period of time they have been together, the performance thus far has been remarkable.
