I thought he was going to be an impact defensive player. The scouting report on him was wrong. Doogs said he was going to be a smart, pass first, defensive leader. He looks like a smart, scoring PG who plays below average defense (like most freshmen). I like him a lot and think he is going to be great, but he needs to play better defense and he makes the same typical mistakes all freshmen do unless they are elite.
I enjoy watching this team much more than last year's team. I really wish we still had Aziz. He would mitigate some of these problems on defense. Anything Blackwell adds in the post is mitigated by his bad defense, average rebounding, and lack of athleticism. I also really want Johnson to keep getting better and replace Andrews. His ceiling is way higher, and I want next year's 1-3 to be NWG, Johnson, and Anderson. Andrews can be the back up PG and a scorer off the bench.
