I will give you that Dooling doesn’t look very comfortable running the offense and Boykins is kind of a one on one guy. I’m hoping and praying that Dooling will get with the program a little more as time goes on. He sure does have a tendancy to dribble way too much. On the plus side, he is a kick up on Ridnour as a defender, Dooling has long arms and good quickness. Turnovers have been a big issue so far, Skiles is going to lose his mind if that keeps up.

Agree, its going to be nice to have a new age traditional PF guy like Gooden, a guy that can make that 18 foot jumper if you leavehim
or can grab rebounds and score some inside. Gooden is going to enjoy playing with BJ, I think, if you work hard and move around
BJ will get you the ball. He found Gooden a couple times in limited minutes the other day, so far so good.
This team still needs to be more consistent knocking down those open three’s. I would love to see Delfino and Ilysova kick up
their 3 pt FG% a smidge this year.

I was impressed with Drew Gooden’s game tonight. He’s a capable defender and his rebounding has been average at best, but his array of offensive moves is quite intriguing. It looks like he’s read “How to score” by Kevin McHale, because he has a variety of interesting ways to get points while not looking particularly smooth. (I wonder if he gets tired pump-faking every time? I hope someone keeps track of who pump-fakes more this season between Gooden and Ilyasova.) Either way, he gives us a new dimension at the 4 spot that we haven’t seen in a long time and that’s probably worth overlooking the fact that he doesn’t have a chin.

Are we allowed to get scared by the backup point guard situation yet? Both Dooling and Boykins left much to be desired. I understand it’s pre-season, but the lack of sharp passes/legit drives/ability to not let John Wall steal the ball and go coast to coast was alarming. I hope both those guys can figure it out within the next two weeks or Jennings is going to be one tired kid playing 42 minutes a night.
