We had one of these threads last year, so I figured I'd start one for this season.
With that in mind, I watched Late Night with Roy so you don't have to. Don't worry. I didn't watch the skits. I restricted myself to just the scrimmage. Here are my observations in case anyone's interested. I tried to be as objective as possible:
Nate Britt – Stroke seems a little weird, but accuracy much improved
Joel Berry – Looks great, jumper is money. Best shooter they’ve had since 2009?
Tony Bradley – He’ll be good. One of the classic floor-running UNC bigs. Clearly the best of the freshmen. Reminds me of Zeller
Seventh Woods – Horrible shooter. Really just bad at everything
Isaiah Hicks – Post skills still limited but a very sweet left elbow jumper
Kennedy Meeks – Much slimmer, but otherwise looks like the same player
Theo Pinson – Nice decision making, very little offense. Hit a couple threes
Brandon Robinson – Some good, some bad. He looks to be better than his ranking, but I think it will take him several years to be an impact guy. Very, very skinny.
Justin Jackson – Same player as last year. His entire game is putbacks and baseline drives. Did hit a key three late
General thoughts: Overall, the offense looked sharp, defense less so. They look like a top 10 team to me. Their shooting in particular I think will be better than last year. I also appreciated that, like Duke, their scrimmage resembles a real game. Sean May did a good job as a commentator. If he doesn’t stick with his current job – director of player development – he could have a future as an analyst.
