Tyler Kohl
Seen lots of this guy & this was by far worst performance in big atmosphere to date. Stocky wing that can typically facilitate or make shots was making all sorts of bad
decisions here & very TO prone. Some will make too much of this one performance, but there are few that can match his combination of skill & feel.

Long & smooth athlete, still best in transition, slasher not ball-handler gets TO prone after couple of bounces. Jumper looks better but still not consistent. Motor
historically inconsistent but looked fine here. Tools to be a good defender but never been a priority for him.

Went off for 37pts on Sat. Scores in all 3 ranges - very effective posting smaller guards, not a blow by driver but uses strong frame, changes direction well with ball in
traffic, & plays off 2 ft in lane. Better 3pt shooter than he showed this weekend (3-12) & excellent FT shooter. De-committed from Baylor following event.

Explosive long/wiry lefty; has ton of bounce & plenty of quickness. Lot of personality with too much attitude at times. Highlight reel waiting to happen in open floor, super
aggressive defender - makes plays but fouls. Rep as non-shooter; didn't make 3 all weekend but tried couple from deep that didn't look terrible.

Scoring G used to having complete freedom with ball in hands & struggling to adjust here. Benched for 2nd game after disappointing opener - 0pts, 0-6 FG (0-5 3pt) with
no toughness & bad body language. Probably type of guy who needs to go lever lower than talent dictates in order to play way he wants to play.

be more engaged on glass. Not yet productive but has wealth of tools to develop in coming years.

well on block but lacked a go-to move. Body-type to be post defender & rebounder but doesn't seem to have embraced that niche yet.

Was far & away Fishburne's best player this weekend. Lefty wing not quite 6'7 listed but good size/length for perimeter, athleticism to thrive in open floor, get OR tip-ins,
or catch-lobs. Made bunch of 3's but also some catch-and-shoot mid-range jumpers against zone. Listed as committed through event but officially open now.

6th yr, presumably needs waiver. Not great 3pt shooter & far more efficient inside of 16. 20pts, 6-10 FG when sticking to sweet spots vs. 8pts, 4-15 FG (0-5 3pt) when
operating on arc. Good driver & mid-range player, can score over people, maneuver way to rim through traffic, or get to FT line. Good reb; guards multiple positions.

High level talent was recruited at a high level last year but motor is major question mark. Seemed to be going through motions here & so didn't play much. Looked for his
3 but didn't connect or look good. Athletic off 2ft or with head of steam but otherwise a tad rigid; little TO prone as well but can potentially play 3 positions.

Starting PG not 6'0 listed (closer to 5'10) but strong. Defended ball very well, especially in half-court, & was dependable handling vs. pressure & getting team organized.
Is capable of breaking his man down but showed little individual offense here & was reluctant to shoot 3. Under the rim athletically.

Khyri Thomas
Versatile scorer, naturally bigger frame & pretty long arms; skilled enough to be 2 but body type may be more of undersized 3, especially as he adds muscle. Shoots it
well to arc, has high/compact release to score over people with pull-ups & step-backs (will even post smaller guards). Sneaky good athlete, can handle in open floor or
make tight changes of direction as interior slasher, good footwork both on catch and at end of drives. Pretty versatile scoring threat but still plays within flow.

Scoring lead guard had huge weekend; 61pts in 2 games. Attacked in open floor (excels in space), passed well off dribble, & was 9-12 from 3pt (little heavy left leg but
great loft/rotation). Pretty good shoulders & some cut but lean through core & can get bumped off line of his drive (good at selling contact though).

position on post but has a little bit of a hook. Unorthodox looking stroke but can't leave him unchecked at top of key. Active rebounder despite lack of strength.

True PG not flashy but tough, strong, relatively quick, & full of intangibles/leadership. Defends length of floor, outstanding weakside defender (rotates to get in passing
lanes & take charges). Runs system but limited individual offense - little bit of a runner given straight line to rim, not incapable if unchecked at 3 with compact/rigid stroke.

bumped off block & very quick release from 3 (sometimes too quick for own good; sprays misses when rushing). Runs well & has some sneaky bounce.

wasn't bashful about launching (1-4 from 3pt in both games). Just learning how to play hard & within system but definite mismatch potential at D2 level.

Stocky playmaking combo was ball-dominant & inefficient on Friday but couldn't have been much better Saturday. Never going to be a blow-by guy but gets his body on
you, gets to paint, & makes living with floaters & runners. Great natural feel & can bury deep 3's too; FT shooting was achilles. Body language & buy-in was in total
correlation to offensive contributions (poor on Friday, much better Saturday). Conditioning has improved but still carrying some bad weight.

Strong showing here. Doesn't shoot well from perimeter but knows how to avoid it. Better than expected attacking off the dribble - not going to change direction but
efficient straight line driver in half-court who surprised with a couple nice passes off the bounce. Showed soft touch over both shoulders in post (although didn't get roll a
few times) & just as active on glass as expected. Not a very good catch-and-finish player.

Donovan Love
Looked better than in fall but expectations still must be tempered. 1-4 from 3pt but still doesn't shoot it consistently. Most positive development was only 1 TO in 48 mins.
Didn't like way frame was evolving in fall but seemed cut & quick again here. Very likely always going to be left hand dominant.

Undersized but quick guard had jets to get himself into the lane & also made open shots. Game doesn't translate to D1 level though. Son of rapper 50 Cent.

Ryan Funk
Starts on wing & has carved out big role with this group. Didn't shoot it well here but consistent 3pt threat, deceptive athleticism, plays hard, solid perimeter rebounder, &
very likely to keep improving during course of season.

Sean Hoehn
True PG; not naturally quick/athletic or even especially skilled but ultra-tough/competitive. Not much of a creator (got TO prone when trying to do to much to spark team's
slow Saturday morning start) or even a great shooter but scrappy, likes contact, owns his mistakes, vocal, & has leadership qualities.

Ian Gardener
Not very skilled & much less effective in half-court game (as we said during summer), but super tough. Rebs in traffic, slides over to defend bigger guards when team
goes small, & never backs down. Didn't look like D1 player here but would expect him to keep evolving during course of season.

C.J. Byrd
Has more individual offense than most wings on team but struggling to adjust to new concepts on both ends i.e. offensive sets, weak-side defense etc. Showed flashes
of scoring in all 3 ranges but didn't show his best this weekend & could be another guy to improve stock during season.

Wasn't apprehensive in limited mins off bench & fit right into offensive structure but didn't shoot well & game could sometimes overmatched def or in transition.

Arkel Lamar-Ager 6-4
Consistent but somewhat limited rotations mins off bench. Didn't shoot it well & won't until he realizes he needs to be set & in rhythm. Very strong for his size & can
defend some bigger guys in a pinch. Just learning how to play & pick his spots.

Christian Vital
Was team's best player in day 1 but struggled in morning game next day. Learning to channel emotions & so much more under control while still passionate on court.
Shoots it well, doing more off the dribble but no longer trying to prove himself a PG. Super tough, scrappy defender, challenges people, good perimeter rebounder.

E.J. Crawford
Double figure scorer both games - leaning out naturally stocky frame, becoming good 3pt shooter (previously more consistent in mid-range). Still shoots well off dribble &
very smooth off the bounce if not quick.
