Re: Depth+Tough Schedule=Deep NCAA Run

[Brian Johnson]

Supposedly Eric had a decent shot in HS, but not sure
about his handles.  I realize D-I is a completely
different ballgame.

His future is likely at the 3, so it'd be nice at some
point to see what he's got in the way of perimeter
skills, or even mid range for that matter.  But until
Field and Tony graduate, or Whaley comes in, I'm
guessing any of Eric's perimeter skills will be
partially shelved in favor of his interior play.

Sounds like what Tony needs is a good 200 rep session
with his jumpers to get his consistent mechanics.
