1. Who has been the most impressive player on the team?

Sean Evans. Looking like one of the only guys playing with heart and soul right now. He's not brimming with talent but improving every game. That takes hard work. I'll take hard work over lazy talent any day.

2. Who has been your favorite player to watch so far?

Evans and Horne.

3. Who is your favorite bench player?

Horne. When he comes off the bench, it seems to be a tempo-changer.

4. What improvements in player's game have you seen?

Evans at the line. Passing has been much better all around, and seems to be more purposeful. We still need to cut down the dumb turnovers though. I think it's more a case of wanting to do to much than being lazy thus far though. That's a good sign.

5. Whats something different about the team you've seen?

The faster tempo and I like it.

6. What do you think of Norm's player rotation?

A lot better than years past. Still not great but as long as we're putting only BE talent on the floor, I won't complain.

7. What do you think of Norm's clock management/time outs?

I wish they would have played with more urgency in the last 5 minutes of the BC game. We need to score after a TO. Always.

8. What is something that frustrates the hell out of you?

Dumb fouls. Malik and Horne stand out to me. JB not being a force down low.

9. What is something you wish would change for the better?

Our shooting. If any one of those wide open threes dropped, the BC outcome would have been drastically different.

10. Who do you like in the backup PG role?

Whoever can step up. It seems to be wide open right now. Boothe needs to play D with more intelligence and not back us into a corner on this issue though.

11. If you had magic powers and could improve one player in one aspect of his game what would you do? (ex. Patrick Ewing more agile, Shaq a better FT shooter)

Horne improve his jump shot...or just bring Larry Wright back.

12. One player who should play more.

Rob Thomas (I don't get it. What happened to this guy?)

13. One player who should play less.

If he continues to play like a clown who seems disconnected from the game situation, Mason.

14. Your favorite lineup?

I think we have a solid 7-8 player rotation. Put the hot hands in and I'm happy.

3. Who is your favorite bench player? I don't have one yet.

4. What improvements in player's game have you seen? Evans is finishing. Boothe is scoring.

5. Whats something different about the team you've seen? They seem faster.

6. What do you think of Norm's player rotation? He is trusting Mason too much. If he can't be the go to guy, someone else deserves a shot.

7. What do you think of Norm's clock management/time outs? Too early to tell.

8. What is something that frustrates the hell out of you? That we never set picks or run plays. A clear sign that Norm Roberts is a horrible coach.

9. What is something you wish would change for the better? Fire the coach in March.

10. Who do you like in the backup PG role? Tyshawn Edmonson. Do we have a choice?

11. If you had magic powers and could improve one player in one aspect of his game what would you do? (ex. Patrick Ewing more agile, Shaq a better FT shooter) Coker could use an up and under.

12. One player who should play more. Quincy Roberts, because we need a shooter, and he made a shot once.

1. Who has been the most impressive player on the team?

Sean Evans. DJ Kennedy in 2nd. Horne and Boothe in 3rd.

2. Who has been your favorite player to watch so far?

Evans, Boothe and Horne. It's nice to see a true point guard.

3. Who is your favorite bench player?

Horne for now. I would like to see what Roberts could do with more minutes.

4. What improvements in player's game have you seen?

Kennedy, Horne and Evans seem to be playing better overall. Although Evans fustrated me by not boxing out!

5. Whats something different about the team you've seen?

The faster tempo is great. Although I wish (1) Mason would stop taking the long jumpers with so much time on the clock when he doesn't have the open shot and rather kick it back to Boothe to look for something else. (2) I wish they would try and run some plays for Burrell down low as well as Mason post up on occassion when he is playing someone smaller than him.

6. What do you think of Norm's player rotation?

I agree it's been better. However, not great.

7. What do you think of Norm's clock management/time outs?

As the other poster said:
"I wish they would have played with more urgency in the last 5 minutes of the BC game. We need to score after a TO. Always."

8. What is something that frustrates the hell out of you?

Dumb fouls. Mason with his shot selection. JB not being a force down low. Guys need to play with more urgency when down.

9. What is something you wish would change for the better?

Boxing out of the rebounds (especially on defense!!!), our shooting and shot selection.

10. Who do you like in the backup PG role?

I agree on whoever can step up. Also I think Roberts needs to take Boothe off the ball defender for a few minutes if he is in foul trouble (or play a bit of zone).

11. If you had magic powers and could improve one player in one aspect of his game what would you do? (ex. Patrick Ewing more agile, Shaq a better FT shooter)

I am tossed up between Burrell's agressiveness down low and Horne's ball handling and passing skills to back up Boothe.

12. One player who should play more.

Rob Thomas, Phil Wait, Quincy Roberts? Not sure. None of them have played enough.

13. One player who should play less.

Mason needs to be pulled when he makes stupid decisions on offense.

14. Your favorite lineup?

Can't say. I do know we need Boothe at the point in every lineup!

1. Who has been the most impressive player on the team?

Sean Evans. The weight he dropped over the off season is clearly helping his mobility and athleticism.

2. Who has been your favorite player to watch so far?

I liked DJ droppin' 20s in the first two games, that was fun. Seems everyone lost their shot though against BC. Over all three games, I'd say Evans because of what I said in No. 1.

3. Who is your favorite bench player?

Paris Horne. Awesome showing last night.

4. What improvements in player's game have you seen?

Sean's overall athleticism. His vision also improved. He's seeing the passes better and knows when to go for the hoop or give it up.

5. Whats something different about the team you've seen?

Runnin' and gunnin'. They really are a fast team, so keep at it, I guess. None of that matters if they can't drain open jumpers though.

6. What do you think of Norm's player rotation?

Not bad. Coker's getting his minutes. Everyone seems well rested when they come back in. The only time I said WTF is when Boothe, TyShwan and Quincy were playing the 1-3 spots.

7. What do you think of Norm's clock management/time outs?

There haven't been any games where crunchtime clock management has come into play. Maybe against Cornell, they did a good job of getting that clock to tick away with a less-than-10-point lead. I agree with whoever said you absolutley need to score out of a TO.

8. What is something that frustrates the hell out of you?

The turnovers and defensive rebounding in the BC game. Atrocious, abysmal, awful, all of the above.

9. What is something you wish would change for the better?

Three-point shooting. Guys are doing well to create the shots, they just have to be more accurate.

10. Who do you like in the backup PG role?

Quincy faired well backing up Boothe, so far. He made a couple freshman mistakes, but that's to be expected. Best to get it out of the way during the OOC schedule. Who I DID NOT LIKE in the backup role was Mason, Jr. It just looked wrong and awkward.

11. If you had magic powers and could improve one player in one aspect of his game what would you do? (ex. Patrick Ewing more agile, Shaq a better FT shooter)

I would give JB the dexterity to have an array of low-post moves coupled with the ability to hit fade-aways and mid-range jumpers. How good would he be??

12. One player who should play more.

Phil Wait. Kid's a giant and his four minutes the other night showed promise. I think his presence in the BC game would have helped St. John's rebounding stats.

13. One player who should play less.

Ugh, probably Mase. He's just too necessary though. Everyone knows he can score, but if he's not, get the speedy lineup in there and feed Burrell and Evans.

14. Your favorite lineup?

To start? Boothe, Kennedy, Mase, Burrell, Evans.

15. Favorite thing about JohnnyJungle.com

The in-depth recruiting news and the forums, of course.

1. Who has been the most impressive player on the team? Sean Evans and DJ Kennedy

2. Who has been your favorite player to watch so far? Sean Evans. I love how gritty he is, and that he's not scared to take it to the hole.

3. Who is your favorite bench player? Paris Horne. Fun to watch, and is pretty good.

4. What improvements in player's game have you seen? Dele Coker's conditioning and strength.

5. Whats something different about the team you've seen? They look to run a lot more.

6. What do you think of Norm's player rotation? No real complaints, I just wish there was a real backup point guard..

7. What do you think of Norm's clock management/time outs? It seems like whenever he calls a time out, the possession is a turnover. But the use of his time outs and everything, no real complaints so far.

8. What is something that frustrates the hell out of you? Norm's recruiting, Anthony Mason Jr., and the team not looking for Justin Burrell.

9. What is something you wish would change for the better? Mason Jr showing senior leadership, going to the hole, and not taking silly shots...

10. Who do you like in the backup PG role? Nobody. They are all two guards.

11. If you had magic powers and could improve one player in one aspect of his game what would you do? (ex. Patrick Ewing more agile, Shaq a better FT shooter) Malik Boothe three point shot. definitely..

12. One player who should play more. Rob Thomas? I can't really complain right now about that.

13. One player who should play less. Mason.

14. Your favorite lineup? Boothe -- Horne -- Kennedy -- Burrell -- Evans

I THINK NORM FINALLY KNOWS THERE ARE 40 MINUTES IN A GAME...20 PER HALF. NOW THAT'S PROGRESS.
