Good for Cam, I guess. Still hate he wouldn't stick it out here. He'd most likely be our starting SG and filling our biggest hole if he had just waited one semester.
Right, enjoy playing for unranked team and probably not making NBA. Will never not quitting leaving team middle of the season and like you said would be likely starting SG this season had he stayed.Good for Cam, I guess. Still hate he wouldn't stick it out here.

Defense wasn’t good either, obviously, but if you watched the game their offense was abhorrent. Absolutely no movement at all off ball, everyone was just stand around while Tahaad, freeman, or hall tried to create off the bounce. The only reason they scored so much, is they shot 49 FTs. They shot 35% from the field and 29% from 3.Scoring 97 I think I would be more worried about their defense than offense
Gotcha…I saw some comments about Hall being an iso nightmare for opposition, a lot of NBA teams use ISO sets, not always a horrible thing but yea, they’ll need to shoot better. Still though, I would be more worried about the defense as an Auburn fan than I would about the offense, JMO.Defense wasn’t good either, obviously, but if you watched the game their offense was abhorrent.

Hall is gonna be a menace this season no doubt. Freeman played fantastic once he settled into the flow of the game too. I just don’t think they have the depth of playmakers to really play through ISO sets for 40 mins this season. Once again though, it’s an exhibition in mid October, so they have a lot of growth to come.Gotcha…I saw some comments about Hall being an iso nightmare for opposition, a lot of NBA teams use ISO sets, not always a horrible thing but yea, they’ll need to shoot better.

Makes me think we are going to miss having a defensive stopper like Mashack who we could put on any opposing player if they got hot. Hopefully someone on the roster will develop a similar skill set.Hall is gonna be a menace this season no doubt. Freeman played fantastic once he settled into the flow of the game too.

On defense, they really let themselves slip for long periods on that end when they struggled on offense. That’s something I feel like Bruce was one of the best in the country at - playing intense defense and turning it into offense to break droughts. If last night was any indication, Steven may struggle to inspire that kind of play/respect from these guys. Will be interesting to watch them on that end early on this season.
Pettiford has that look of previous iterations of inefficient Auburn guards. Maybe not as inefficient and out of control as Wendel Green and KD Johnson but he doesn't look like some offensive savant like Mark Sears from bama.Defense wasn’t good either, obviously, but if you watched the game their offense was abhorrent.

Idk Pettiford is much more of a 3 level scorer and playmaker than those past Auburn guys have been. He was also very good on defense last season. If he was a few inches taller, he would’ve been a lottery pick last season.Pettiford has that look of previous iterations of inefficient Auburn guards.

I don't believe this for a second. Look at their roster. It's Oweh and a guy who is still coming back from ACL surgery and won't be ready to start the year. Who else do they have?
If we are paying less than Kentucky for our roster, we are getting a STEAL because we are STACKED. Kentucky isn't.
