Interesting comments on Ian

almost RJ-esque?

almost RJ-esque?

Tougher comments reminded me more of Dingle, but the knowing game part is definitely more RJ.

Clearly Rick thinks very highly of Ian and thinks sky is the limit. But once he's seen him practice as "the point guard", he's already eliminated the position entirely

What I wouldn’t give to see a box score of the practice game…

Pohto!

If I remember correctly, Jayden Glover led all scorers in the first open scrimmage last year. It’s a long way to November and March.

If they are shooting 50% from 3 then either it's a team full of sharpshooters or the defense needs a lot of work. I can already hear the moaning about closing out the open corner 3 when the real games start ...

To quote Ralph Kramden, “Some people are never satisfied.”

Luckily he has plenty of time to heal.

This is your periodic reminder to more or less ignore every word that comes out of Rick's mouth.

In all seriousness we have had two years in a row of offenses in which an Iso-Joe constipated things like a geriatric patient who OD-ed on matza. Last year to the point that even the amazingly unselfish Kadary Richmond couldn't fix it.

So it will be nice if "unselfishly sharing the ball" is a notable feature of this year's team. I was concerned that if Jackson is the PG then that might be a challenge.

I have to go back and check the game logs - I thought we did pretty well last year.

When he converts an old fashion three point play, it will be a Pohto Finish.

I was thinking the same thing about Glover.
