Went to the season opener of the local NBDL franchise. Saw some familiar faces playing for both teams.
Damian Saunders is still around, playing for the 87ers. Wished I had sign that said 'Crean says hello' or something like that.
Ebanks from WVU.
Sims from Georgetown.
Boatwright from UConn.
Impressions? I can't imagine how difficult it must be to put in any kind of system with the rate of roster turnover. I was expecting a complete guards game, but they did run some post ups and some iso's for some of the bigs. Basically, it looked like a really high level pick-up game, but one where everyone understood the same basic principles. Too many early-shot clock 3's for my taste.
Sounds about right. The NBDL is basically a warehouse for talent that's borderline, and some that isn't but they need to fill out the roster.
