In maybe the best news of the summer, Rodrigo scored 13 points. We badly need some inside production, and if he can provide it, our ceiling will rise substantially. Jerry Jones also added 11. (NT) -- duq81, Tuesday, July 13, 07:28:26am

I agree that seeing Peggau's name mentioned is great. Perhaps he got more playing time. I noted that Brown only played a few minutes in the 2nd half. Perhaps it is just me but I suspect that McConnell makes everyone around him better. Maybe it's his basketball IQ or perhaps how hard he plays each and every play that rubs off on his teammates.

That's a good quality and one we've been missing since A-Jax graduated. Saunders and Clark, among others, are certainly talented, but aren't raising the bar for others. (NT) -- El Duque, Tuesday, July 13, 12:20:52pm
- ...and a child shall lead them. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Tuesday, July 13, 12:33:41pm
- Exactly, El Duque. That is why I must disagree with your projected starting lineup. -- TMH, Tuesday, July 13, 01:47:07pm
  - We're not really disagreeing ... I have BJ & TJ as a "slash." I like BJ off the bench but Ron has tended to start veterans, at least in the early going, since his first year, (NT) -- El Duque, Tuesday, July 13, 02:55:51pm
    - Here is my wish list for BJ Montiero -- TMH, Tuesday, July 13, 03:18:10pm
      - Can't disagree with any of this, especially the FTs. I don't know if BJ is a streaky shooter or if he just falls out of the flow sometimes. He is another guy who has the ability to carry the team, scoring-wise, with some more consistency. In general, Ron needs to address the FTs this year. Maybe have the guys spend the month of August shooting a million FTs a day each ... (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, July 14, 12:01:16pm
    - El Duque, I've often heard that you like a nice BJ off of the bench. (NT) -- LatterDayDuke, Tuesday, July 13, 07:52:41pm
      - I know you'd love to, but I'm allergic to penicillin, so I'll pass. (NT) -- El Duque, Tuesday, July 13, 09:11:54pm
        LOL!! I believe tetracyline will take care of that. Amputation won't cure it, but it will prevent you from passing it on. (NT) -- duq81, Tuesday, July 13, 09:29:12pm
        Just being on the same Board with LDL makes me want to shave off a layer of skin. It's funny that he thinks that changing his name fools anyone. Be nice if he would learn to try to actually contribute something intelligent instead of the continuous stream of foolishness that he feels necessary to write. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, July 14, 09:18:22am
You may have a point there. Brown was very erratic last year, and part of it may have been because Pitt was breaking in young point guards. They lost a very good one in Levance. Hmmm, Levance had some of the same perceived shortcomings as TJ (short, average athlete), but boy was he money. If TJ turns out to be as good, I'll be a very happy boy! (NT) -- duq81, Tuesday, July 13, 07:06:41pm

Actually, both of these are good news. We'll need to replace some of the firepower Bolding used to provide also. But the Peggau news is clearly the topper. If he's ready to take over the pivot, this team looks a whole lot different ... -- El Duque, Tuesday, July 13, 10:10:23am

If Rodrigo is healthy and can contribute that could give us a big lift. I go back to the first half of the Pitt game last year, where he played at a very high level. (NT) -- CLK, Tuesday, July 13, 06:05:22pm

Clk , when I saw Rod the 2nd day at Greentree he looked healthy, Moved and looked like he was in no pain. Looked like he had some kind of thin rubber wrap on his knee. (NT) -- WashpaRick, Tuesday, July 13, 08:59:39pm
- Thanks Rick. Hopefully he will give us some good minutes this year. (NT) -- CLK, Wednesday, July 14, 08:03:48am
