Anyone have any takeaways from the exhibition? I know it was just OBU but seems like the freshmen played well and shooting has improved with the young guys.
In years past I dont think we would have looked this cohesive in exhibition. We will see how things go.

I caught about 10 minutes of the second half. Biggest take away was that the freshman looked more physically developed than I can remember. Garrison, Daily, and McBride in particular were not bean poles.
Dow has a great looking shot and quick release. He caught his passes, squared the shoulders, and kept the ball chest level each time I saw him with the ball. I was surprised at his steal and dunk too. Looked like it took him some effort to throw it down, but he is certainly more athletic than I would have guessed.
Much better passing all around than many/most Boyton teams, but still more one on one dribbling into trouble than I would like to see. Hoping that is more of a freshman issue that will smooth out. Marsh is a load and much more polished offensively than Cisse, but nowhere near as athletic.

I didn’t make it to GIA and plan to watch the espn+ replay but wonder from your post if marsh can play/guard at the 4 w Garrison at the 5 and Dailey at the 3. I realize this means you have JMW and Thompson splitting time or maybe running the 1 and 2. That would be a big lineup.

I’d love to give a definitive “yes”, but only seeing a quarter of one exhibition game….
If I had to guess, from a defensive standpoint, no. I don’t think Marsh is fast enough to cover a mobile PF, however, Garrison might be though I think his skill set is more tailored to be in the paint. Offensively, I think it could work if marsh can step out to at least the elbow to keep the paint open.
