Khyri has a definite edge to him.. so does Watson although he's been here a year already. Also, I thought I saw some of that fire from Groselle in the GT lost.

Next year, I think Watson will be our leader on the court and vocally as well.

Marlon also had an off-day unfortunately, so I didn't see a whole lot. But he's a strong guard with good quickness and handles. There's plenty to work with there.

by lack of off-ball ability, do you mean he has trouble getting shots if he's not the point and doesn't have the ball in his hands? That makes it hard to slot him in as a point or a 2 for now.
Maybe that uncertainty is why we are looking at JUCO combo guards? That would let him have some time to develop and see if he's a 1, a 2 or a combo guy. Like you said, there's a lot to work with - he's a guy who won't have any trouble fitting in physically in the BE and he's got a good set of skills to build on.
