Training Camp Notes

Also if Key wins the starting gig it means he is like 50% better than the other dudes so get excited. He can't win the job just being slightly better. He also might need a Rodney Hood gastro-intestinal type break. With the way Hardy works that would be a very very very good sign of how Key is performing.
Or it means he just really good at shooting and pairs well with THT
 
...."good enough" defender might be the better way to say it.

If Keyonte comes out early in his career looking anywhere near average on defense, then I'm gonna be gulping down koolaid.
 
If you think about groups, you want THT with Lauri/Walker/JC. THT is far and away our best passer and best lob thrower. The next decision would be Keyonte or Ochai, and you go with Keyonte because it's easier to get Ochai minutes throughout the game as he works on all lineups.

You want Sexton around floor spacing. He's our best driver and his best passing skill is kicking out to shooters. You can also pair him with the more natural PG KO.

Clarkson works off the bench because it's a role he is use to and seems to be cool with whatever as long as he gets his minutes/shots over the course of a game.

I mean being that good at shooting would be a very good sign lol. Ochai is a good shooter too... if Key is so good he starts right away it means he's all-rookie first team good.
 
Fingers crossed
I think he may get there but it would be like Walker did. Produce well and become a starter later in the year. When you have game numbers and film it’s easier to see who is better… in practice they would really have to stand out imo.
 
Key won’t be a starter yet. No chance. Hardy wants to win. He ain’t gonna put a 19-year-old kid out there to start or give him big minutes yet. Has to learn the ropes first, defense, reads, decisions, understanding what’s going on, where to be on the floor, knowing the calls, other teams’ players etc. It’s a lot of stuff. But he looks like a real deal to me. I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops.

One interesting thing for me is that as a young team we’ve got a lot internal growth and many players should be better than last season.
