Subject: NKU game review

Typical first game. Some nice stuff and and lot of not so nice stuff. Even though NKU only had 51 points, it looked the the defense has a way to go.

The big concerns as expected are the point guard and center positions. Taron started at point, but did nothing to solidify the spot. He shot poorly and did everything else average. Interestingly the first player to come in at point was Kirkland. Kirkland showed he can handle the ball, but his lack of experience showed. Next at point was Bobbitt who played OK at point, but looks more like a 2 guard. Make no mistake about it, Bobbitt is a player. Chad Moore didn't get into the game until 8 minutes to go which should tell you something. But, he played the rest of the game and gave some spark to the team, both on offense and defense. I still think at this point he is going to see a lot of bench time.

Field and stokes were solid, each doing what they do best. Hicks didn't get into the game until late also, but like Moore he showed some spark. Blocked a couple shots, had a couple of baskets, but looked lost at times. Hicks will be a big time player in the next year or two once he gets healthy.

Underneath, it was a lot of players doing the same thing. The best offensive players are Flowers and Land, but both are too short and too slow to be full time centers. Hollman and Johnson are active put have fewer skills. Johnson will get some points, but I doubt Hollman will. I think it will be mix and match at the center and power forward position when Max is out.

It will be an interesting year. We may lose some games we should win, because we are going to have to count on our outside shooting more than in the past. If several players emerge we can battle for the conference title again.
