Can't wait!

Anything we want to see?

Not worried about Ivey, Duren or Livers (if he plays).

Ausar, Sassar and Wiseman - want them to get a lot of minutes and look better than first two games.

It's too bad about Livers' family emergency. I was hoping he'd be more aggressive with the "bigger role" in SL.

I want Ausar to keep up his stellar play + make one three-pointer.

I really want him to succeed, but without a shot, he is going to quickly become the next Killian.

Mark my words.

I want to see less Ivey (gets Sasser more time) and Wiseman (either keep him out or let him and Duren split minutes at C)

I also want to see if Ausar can play small-ball PF

Sasser
Buddy
Umude
Ausar
Duren

…surround Ausar with shooters. Let him and Sasser run the O.

Gonna try to watch this one. Hopefully Ausar is playing and Ivey isn't, he needs the reps.

No word on starters?

Hoping Ausar has at least one game where he's controlling the offense. Ivey doesn't really need this. Sasser would get more time/role, too. I'm going to guess the "vets" will sat out the last game, or the tournament.

No he’s not, zero chance of that, because he’s never going to play point guard. Killian damages our offense in a way Ausar cannot.

Ausar’s worst-case scenario is a Diallo that can pass. Which, mind you, would be a huge whiff as a #5 pick.

Maybe not as bad as killian because he's just a total negative across the board on offense but if Ausar turns out to be a non shooter it'll definitely hurt similar to killian.

Well, that was the risk in selecting him and why I was against it. Either he learns to shoot (or turns into a Rodman-esque defensive monster) or it was a bad pick.

Ausar bringing the energy!

That was awesome from Ausar

A block, 2 steals, and a wild fastbreak alley oop for Ausar so far

Damn it. Asser looks really good. Unbelievably active.

Ausur is extremely disruptive on defense.

Wow!

Ausur off the floor and TOR is making a run...YUP.

And thats why he wont fall back as far as Killian as a scorer. Killian cant rely on that type of athleticism at the rim without a jumper
