It looks like Ryan Turell is playing for the Israel Select team.  He is the NBA G-League player that that was also featured on Gabe York's recent documentary.  The kid can shoot...

My postgame thoughts on Arizona's contributors:

Borovicanin is REALLY talented.  He pulls down tough rebounds, finds the open man and knocks down shots.

Murauskas is deadly on offense.  He can do everything ...and played nice interior defense as well.  Most impressive player to me (alongside Borovicanin).

Keshod is a guaranteed 2 points when he's in the paint.  Physically tough on defense.  He's taking over Kerr's role of "agitator" on the team.

Dylan struggled at the start.  His shot looks good but he's still somewhat indecisive with the ball in his hands.  Made some nice plays as the first half progressed.

Boswell, Pelle and Ballo are solid veterans.  They didn't play much, as the newcomers got a majority of the minutes.

Bradley handles the ball well and is a strong defender but needs to work on his shot.

It was hard to evaluate Love.  He's ridiculously talented but needs to take smart shots.

Conrad needs some time to grow (both physically and mentally).  Great skillset; he could easily be our future PG in a couple years.

Krivas is unbelievably agile for his size.  He'll contribute immediately.  Smooth stroke too.

Would have liked to have seen how we faired against a NBA player like Deni Avdija and vice versa.

Your write up on Paulius seems to agree with how I evaluated Zoo Tube coming in. I just hope Tommy doesn't hinder him the way he did Zoo.

After watching this, I wonder if more people will listen to me when I say that Ballo can share the court with a 2nd Big and even if you hate the term PF, that's the reality of what Ballo truly is.

My hopes -

Ballo can shoot 70% from the line

Tommy will play 2 "bigs" in spurts

Keshad and Paulius to see time on the court together

Bradley finishing at the rim

Pelle and Love both 6th man role, Defense / Offense substitutions. They shouldn't play together imho.

Boswell doesn't get bumped out of the starting "G" role. He isn't a real PG. He is more like a SG, but too small for pure SG (small being relative because BAM BAM is huge). Hoping to see at least 7 assists per game from Bam Bam and some big shot making.

I agree with everything said above, although I feel MUCH more confident in Keshod playing PF, now that I've seen a game under Lloyd (despite the fact that the roster was configured for an exhibition). He plays much bigger than 6'7".

Love and Larsson can play together, but it depends on their matchups. The two could provide huge scoring spurts but could also throw up quick threes and allow opponents to get back into games.

It'll be interesting to see how the rotation pans out because our roster is extremely deep with a diversity of skillsets. I bet the "regulars" aren't the same in both November and March...

Some pretty good analysis in this thread so far...
At times it was pretty sloppy but that's to be expected, mostly I saw a bunch of positives and potential with this roster.
Coach em' up t. lloyd!
