Others have seen Hill. And he is projected very well versus our present people. All the comments on Conley also fit into the same area as Hill. I know what the kid did down in the peninsula and in his All Star games and feel your comments are unjustified as yet, and are more the opinions of the staff. It is not a secret how Dunne feels about Conley, having told all who have talked to him and that is good, but justifying the impact comment yet considering all what passes for logic on this board is premature.

Again, Gooding and Reid are only similar in size and athleticism. On the floor they will have to be defended differently and could actually cause mismatched problems when there together as they can concede Gooding his shot but will need to pay closer attention to Reid. Where they are similar is on defense where both can cause great trouble for the opposition when pressure is needed. If we failed one thing last season was the use of pressure, and came most to light in the second game of the season when he took forever to implement it.

I disagree with your comment on Lamply not having a shot, and I think you might get a fair amount of others who will. He is no Clark, but has more talent than a number of your favorite players.

No question that Nick and Jenkins will be the outside threat, but I do believe you will see Lampley out there. Left unsaid is what kind of shot Hall has and some think he will be the point rather quickly. Also unsaid is the fact that Mumford is very good three point shooter but hampered by attitude and could suffer the problem of not being used at all.

Being familiar with both the Owes and Spann situation, one needs to worry about the over the top control that might exist on the team. We all want the discipline, but in each of the cases above leaving was unwarranted. Different reasons for each, but exposes areas that might impact a Lampley or a Mumford.

Peacock, some follow up to what we disagree on.

#1) Conoly - I've have now seen Conoly play and the opinion I posted is from that observation. Who knows what will happen but I feel more comfortable with my assessment than almost any other. I could be wrong but then I could point out many of your "assessments" that have turned out to be incorrect. As you say why be afraid to render an opinion. I'm not.


#2) Hill- If you remember I was among (if not) the first to state that Hill could be a sleeper. That was based on the same reports that you refer to.No one has seen him play up here as of yet, so I will urge the same caution on Hill that you have on Conoly. Bottom line I like the kids potential.


#3) Lampley - as stated I like what I've seen in Lampley so far but I don't care how many immaginary people think that Lampley is a good shooter, he is not. Potentially streaky yes but just check out last years shooting stats. He's an exciting player and will contribute in any event. Actually. I was hoping that he worked on his shot over the summer because he could be special if he could knock it down consistently. What I did notice is that he is passing more and becoming more of the team player that we need him to be. I'm hopeful.


#4) Mumford - again my opinion and in disagreement with all those "so-called" reports.Think his 3pt. is not as good as advertised but he has anice little pull-up jumper and is not a bad passer or finisher. Also played decent defense in what little I saw. Bottom line though is that overall he comes up a bit short.

#5) Gooding - outstanding on the break. In trouble with the half court game. Hope we run more because that's where he shines. Problem is that you have to rebound well in order to run.


Finally if we are ever going to have dialogue about SPC basketball stop this crap about reflecting what the staff thinks. While I disagree with many of your opinions (and yes I agree with some) I assume that it's the product of your own point of view. In fact, I think it's inappropriate for one not on the basketball staff to try to pick there brains. Not my style.
