We've started the season off on a decent note (4-0). In the four games we have scored a combined 467 points in 4 games... but on the other side of the ball we have given up close to 350 points. So we still have a lot of work to do. Overall though, I am really happy with the group of guys we have. Everyone brings something different to us as a group, and it seems to mesh very well. At times we seem to play selfishly and make some idiotic plays, but we are all very young and still learning. All I can hope for and ask for is that we get better and improve every time we step on the court. If we keep doing that, then we should be playing our best basketball towards the end of the year, when things really matter. It's nice to get off to such a good start in my first season, but we can't develop a false sense of how good we are or how bad we are, we have to keep in mind to just continue to improve every time we take the court.
A little breakdown on some of our student athlete's through these first 4 games...
Abdul-Hakim Fofana has been a monster for us. He averaging close to 20PPG 14 RPG 3 SPG and 2 blocks
Tommy Collins (2 sport college athlete - football) has been the perfect spark plug off of the bench for us. He is averaging close to 13PPG 7RPG and dunking on opponents on a nightly basis.
Detario Scott - has been a good floor general for us - he is averaging close to 15 PPG 9APG 5RPG and 3 SPG, he is known as Mr. Triple Double back home and he's been close twice this year so far.
Cedric (Cjay) Miles - our other floor general - he has stepped up his scoring the last two games with games of 31 and 21 which has brought his average up to around 18PPG 7 APG 4 RPG 4 SPG
Terrell Alfred - is a deadly shooter from deep - he has been stretching the floor tremendously for us. He is averaging 23 PPG 5 RPG and averages around 5 three's a game; shooting close to 50% from 3
We are coming together better, but it's a long year and there will be bumps along the way, we just have to continue to move forward at a steady pace. I tell the guy's all the time that we need be comfortable with being uncomfortable. There's going to come a time when we will be with our backs against the wall and we will need to show resiliency and fight to withstand the adversity.
Overall - happy with our guys and our start, but must continue to get better!
We appreciate the support we have been given from the students and faculty/staff at DCB and along with the community. We hope you enjoy watching us and we hope to continue seeing you out at the woodshed!!
See you next week back in the woodshed!!
