I was also pleasantly surprised. The two new point guards appear to be significant upgrades. Wes and Edwards look good. Claws is way more physically prepared than the rhetoric indicated. Hopefully the guys who didn't play will be available soon, because we are going to need some production from the f/c spot in real life.
Negatives, the new officiating emphasis is going to make college games [even more] hard to watch at times. I'm not surprised that reducing the play clock 5 seconds yielded more possessions.
