Tell me about your team, particularly Bryan Hopkins. Is he a CUSA first teamer, in your minds...?

Looking forward to the game on Saturday...and BTW, I was VERY impressed with how you guys finished up the football season.

Hey Tiger.

Bryan Hopkins is very overrated and does not need double coverage and man defense. His shooting ability is somewhat weak and you don't need to pressure him from 3 point range. He will probably miss those long shots most of the time. :wink:

Make sure your coaches and players get this evaluation of BHop. :wink:

There is some 1/2 truths to that statement actually.

I know that you are trying to be sarcastic, but I bet anyone that truly understands basketball would say that is a very true statement. There is no way that Hopkins is first team CUSA and as for an NBA prospect, yeah right. I think that he is overrated. His shot has improved, but he still takes a lot of bad ones. As for a scouting report heres one: Leave the post players open, no matter how open they are we just pass the ball around the perimeter and jack up a three as the shot clock winds down. Defensively we are very soft. If you run any kind of offense you will have open shots all night long.

Actually, there wasn't a bit of sarcasm intended. I honestly know nothing about Bryan Hopkins, but I figured since he was the only player on your team whose name I knew, he might've been somewhat of a star for you guys.

Actually our greatest offensive threat is Bamba Fall. Whenever he is in the game you need to triple cover the big guy or he'll smoke you.
