May be selective memory here, but it appears we're further along at this point than we've been in previous years. Of course, we should be with Pullz, Curtis, Wally, and the other returners out there.
Asprilla showed some assertiveness/quick moves under the hoop. Nice to see that...need some Bill Walker on this team. Got a little tired over last couple of years of seeing our big guys get the ball stripped low inside while their arms go flailing up for the layup/dunk.
We may not have Clemente this year, but we have a lot of guys who will get up and down the court, which should still help fast break opportunities...especially with our apparent depth. We won't have the Clemente one-man break, but we should be able to get some 3/4 on 2 breaks against teams for (hopefully) easy buckets.
