I've watched a lot of video of the three and seen them scrimmage recently. Lee seems to be back and over whatever ankle injury he had. He is playing tough defense and is rebounding well. If he can do just those two things, he'll be a big contributor this coming year. Lee may have to play a lot this season, if Harward doesn't receive a waiver from the NCAA.

Has anybody heard about the status of Harward's NCAA appeal?

I was pleasantly surprised at Lowell's height (6'10 1/2"), coordination, and athletic ability. He has nice shooting form and a solid 3-point shot. He is a little on the skinny side, but he could play the 5, if needed.

I've heard that Pope is open to the idea of playing Harward (if he can get a waiver), Childs, and Baxter a lot on the court at the same time. That's a lot different philosophy than what Rose had.
