Tyler was at practice today, he didn't get to talk to anyone beforehand but he has some good notes from the practice:
· Nic Moore is still hobbling on his right leg but he was consistently knocking down shots throughout drills at the beginning of practice. Moore is definitely favoring his landings on his jump shot and was in the locker room during 4-on-4 and 5-on-5 drills/scrimmage.
· Ben Emelogu also doesn't look 100% as he was constantly shaking and holding his right hand.
· Coach Larry Brown is really looking for more out of Sterling Brown and Ben Emelogu and he was calling both of them out quite a bit.
· Markus Kennedy sunk a few three-pointers. One of his threes was a dribble-up with a hand in his face. Kennedy seems to be gaining some confidence further away from the basket despite his performance Saturday against Tulsa.
· Coach Brown had a lot of emphasis on moving the ball vertically and getting it inside versus horizontally passing the ball behind the arc.
· Coach Brown also emphasized the post guys sitting on their defenders because if they don't they're going to end up getting pushed out 40 feet away
· In between drills, Yanick Moreira was constantly working on his form and shot release at the free throw line.
· Duke transfer Semi Ojeleye looked very good in almost every aspect. Ojeleye showed promising defense, quickness, and great outside shooting throughout practice. Ojeleye displays the most athleticism on the team along with the best footwork.
