So... given the image below (from the GU Hoops IG story)... It looks like: WHITEGovan Mourning LeBlanc Pickett Mac Akinjo BLUECarter Muresan Malinowski Robinson Blair Mosely Can we assume these are the 1st and 2nd groups? Should we be looking for a starting 5 from the White team? Only 2 left are Kaleb (injury?), Omer (eligibility?)... or maybe they're just off-frame. Also -- sweet court. I love the new look of the court...

In the video I was really happy to see Akinjo running. One less thing to worry about.

Because he is not a strong defender and can’t facilitate on offense. He is a great spark plug off the bench. Blair improved a lot by the last few games. He really struggled a lot through mid-season, but then his defense really improved, shooting, and facilitating. He was in panic mode in far too many mid-season games, which got really ugly. He showed he can drastically respond to coaching and improve. Not sure where his game is at now, but if he improved on his end of season form it could be really nice to see him get time.

I love Blair’s game, I just don’t see him as a starter. Very streaky shooter and can be crafty around the basket.

Anyone want to take a wager on Malinowski getting the start tonight? May seem far out, but we are collectively sleeping on this kid...

I think he will play a key role this season... If Greg is a 40% 3 PT guy he should see all the time he wants. This team needs shooters and his rebounding #'s are way better than any of our current guards/wings. That could be due to level but hopefully not as this team is going to need rebounding help.

Any word on Akinjo's ankle? Is he playing tonight? We shouldn't need him to win but I want to see the team with him running the show....

Akinjo was filmed running in practice about a week ago with no brace and no limp. Tonight in the first game it didn't look like he had much of an issue but didn't seem to have the lateral speed on defense he was showing before the injury.
