My thoughts as we enter conference play:
1. The Masonification of Dotson is happening every week, more and more. He's finishing around the basket on drives so much more consistently. It's really, really fun to watch. Hard to believe he's a sophomore. If he leaves for the NBA, so be it, but he'll be POY if he comes back.
2. I was really worried about Enaruna when we were in exhibition games, but he's fast becoming a devastating off ball defender. He's just so long that passing lanes disappear. He still has decision making issues, but I'm really happy with his development.
3. Udoka is just feasting.
4. Ochai, Garrett, Moss, and Braun are where this team is really elevating. The bigs are athletic, strong, and Dotson controls the game, but this rotation of guards is what is separating us. I really am shocked by Braun. He plays like a senior sometimes. Just have total confidence in him making the right choice 90% of the time. Garrett has become an actual offensive weapon, and when Moss is on, it's like having Tyrell Reed back out there in the corner. Loving this team so far.
They're also playing like a team. It's unselfish and supportive, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of ego running around. They are just playing like a whole organism. I'm really digging the style of play right now. It's not as flashy as year's past, but it seems much, much harder to poke holes in our game.
