Rick Pitino noted Bryce Hopkins is 100% healthy

Tell that to the Friar clowns on X.

In clips it seems Ian has a nice stroke from deep.

Hope they got this game on tape

My gut says Darling will handle the ball the most when PG experiments end.

We can play Mitchell, Zuby, and Hopkins together and still have significantly more floor spacing than last year. Great to hear Mitchell excelling at with ball handling help. Want to see that.

For a proper self pat on the back start talking in the 3rd person. Marillac was the Pioneer of it

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.

 

[paultzman]

Lot of ball movement per Zach too.

 

[paultzman]

Nice, but going against our D lol

 

[don_pitino]

Ian Jackson steal and game winner

 

[paultzman]

Fun scrimmage it appears, giving fans great hopes and price of seats just went up another 10%.

 

[paultzman]

I think we’ll see a lot of internal passing between these two and that will result in a lot of open looks for our perimeter guys.

 

[paultzman]

Hard to envision Lafty getting much time this year on a team so built for speed.

 

[paultzman]

From observations today, could we see a more confident Ruben offensively this tear. Yeah, I know it is first scrimmage lol.

Darling seems blessed w solid passing instincts.

 

[paultzman]

Remember from whence we came, It was not so long ago we were hoping Damien Sears would make a difference.

Thx Father Shanley among others.

The old adage of practice being tougher than games applies to this squad moreso than others.

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 ...

 

[NCJohnnie]

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

 

[dk423]

I think Hop leads team in assists.

Interesting comments on Ian
