Man, it's too bad Davis isn't immediately available. Kids is a beast on the block.

Nielson has definitely got potential, though. As does Andrus--who was more athletic & much lighter on his feet than I was expecting. And Luke is a totally different animal this year. Even if we didn't have Aytes & Kafusi coming in, overall, that group of bigs last night showed a likely improvement over last year's Mika-dominated group.

Honestly, I think the Luke we saw last night would give Mika from last year all he could handle over the course of a game. Probably would get scored on a bit more than he gave back, but I think his defense & rebounding would keep him about toe-to-toe with Mika from last season. Which is something I never woulda said before last night.

mutu.
