What to Watch for Against Cupcake Opponents

Related Topics: Early Games, Matthew Mayer

Early games against lesser competition can be hard to judge. I’m of the mindset that as long we come out on the winning side, I don’t usually put too much emphasis on the score. Truthfully, I enjoy watching the players try out different aspects of their individual game, and love to see the development in preparation for conference-play basketball. When there is a wide discrepancy in talent, I tend to focus on other facets of the game that will need to develop by January.

Shot Selection: Based on these early games so far, Mark Vital seems to have the green light on corner 3s and Matthew Mayer has no hesitation pulling up on contested jumpers.
