FYI, I did not include the walk-ons (because why would I) and Henri (because he only played a total of 5 minutes and did not do anything).
Besides Love's 3-pointers, Dylan's rebounds and Ballo's free throws, I'm overly impressed with EVERYBODY's stats.
This team is well-rounded and extremely deep. Our guards didn't turn the ball over, our free throws are improved and we have multiple lineups that can throw off opposing defenses (4 guards, 2 centers or 5 "wings").
The Werder Report never disappoints.

Keeping the level of competition in mind, it's still a great sign that 7 guys were able to average double digits. Lots of weapons at t. lloyd's disposal.

FYI, I did not include the walk-ons (because why would I) and Henri (because he only played a total of 5 minutes and did not do anything).
I am not going to take this ultra seriously --- and I don't care if someone's percentage was a product of 1 to 4 total attempts. I also see nothing about Assists.
What I like from this:Krivas 75% FT
Anderson 75% FT
Boro 55% 3pt
Paulius and KJ Lewis from 2pt%
What I hate from this:Piss Poor overall 3pt shooting from the ones expected to take the 3's
Piss Poor guard play statistically from the field as a whole though I don't see Assists.
Too much Keshod Johnson. Like the guy, but we can't be 1 dimensional in the "heart" department and expect to dominate. Everyone has to play with the fire to compete.
Ballo 25% FT.. He will not last long as the bona fide starter if he cannot improve this metric. Tommy has no excuse to force feed Ballo minutes out of "seniority rights" if Krivas is the real deal. I still believe Dylan is better than Ballo too contrary to KC's very low opinion of Dylan that I will not agree with.
Henri, if healthy, will make for a good 4 and my overall theory is still that I see no reason Ballo cannot play the 4 in a 2 Big's lineup. Ballo is a natural Power Forward in every true sense of the word. He is just not a New Era PF. He is an older school (not old school) Theo Ratliff type PF. Not a Garnett/Duncan/Bosh/Love Stretch 4. That would be Henri.
The next question at hand is can Filly-B Boro actually play? Did he take a Bill Waltonian "Evolutionary Leap from beyond the history of the litany of the fate of the known quantumverse" and suddenly become a legitimate NBA radar prospect at his size? We need to find out. Tommy.. this is on you. We need to know.
Continuing on - Is Bam Bam Boswell going to regress? We saw him in relief last season and he made some good plays. He shot the ball very well in my opinion from 3. But is Bam Bam a real PG or is he just a short and stocky SG? How will Tommy figure that one out? I didn't see the Assists metrics, but someone on this team is going to need to average 7 assists a game.
Is Bradley just a 5 Star Bust? Not even looking at the putrid stats, but is he an actual starter overall? I have favored KJ Lewis over Bradley from the jump. They aren't a direct comparison, but how does Tommy ignore the talent and get away with it in Year 3?
Paulius.. Is this kid going to get minutes? How? Keshod is blocking his path to playing time.
Caleb Love and Pelle Larsson are both 6th men. Can they share the role at 22-25min per game each and still be able to find minutes for Boswell, Bradley, and KJ? I doubt it.
There's only 1 ball and 5 players that can go at a time.
Will Tommy do the right thing and play 10 players deep with the 10th man getting at least around 7 or 8 solid minutes? Plug and Play, matchup based. Mix and match. Keeping opponents guessing and wearing them down.
Arizona finished 1st or 2nd in assists during Lloyd's first two seasons. Not in the conference...but nationally. That stat won't be an issue, especially considering the fact that Kerr is out.
I don't have a vendetta against Dylan. I think he's the future of our frontcourt. BUT...I watched all three exhibitions and my amateur opinion is that he still needs work on his ballhandling and defense before earning minutes over Krivas or Ballo.
Oumar still needs help from the FT line. Perhaps Lloyd pulls him at the end of games. He shouldn't play less than 20 MPG; he was a borderline all American last season.
