re: Texas Southern 28 @ LSU 47 End 1st - SECN+

Slow start and a lot still unknown. But how the hell do you watch this and not see major upside and wheels turning?

Desert is going to be a very beneficial player for us, but he is definitely European and lacks the physicality of an American seven footer that has the same physical makeup. Hes a bit like Nas Reid. He will develop into a more physical player I believe.

Diobate and Niang are going to be excellent defenders and they’re perfect compliments to our big bigs. Niang is a solid passer.

Dent is playing slow mo and sees the court so well. He’s going to have to be the guy who is ON for the rest to be on.

The Croatian was a hell of a pickup. He’s not goofy and aloof and just in there to eat paint and minutes.

I don’t know enough about everyone else yet to pretend I do and I may not know what I’m talking about now. But this is clearly an instance of a team needing about a solid month to gel and when they do? Look out. Too much experience to discredit this team.

Depth, like defense in football, travels. We have it. These 6, 7, 8, and 9 guys off of the bench are not McMen scrubs. It’s like this is an international school and Wade is the teacher and has to learn everyone’s language. And the General will!
