Thoughts from the first weekend

Not much to be gleaned yet. It's just too early to know anything. In fact this could be nothing more than me keeping in practice while I figure out what this blog is going to be like. Anyway here's some stuff I noticed prospects doing this past weekend:

• Ed Davis has 19 FGA, Deon Thompson 34 after 3 games. Davis needs to become more of a scorer if he's going to live up to his top 5 hype. He'll need more looks if he's going to get there. He'll certainly need to get the majority of the looks inside. The good part is he's hit .737 on those shots.
  
• Aminu Al-Farouq is averaging 24-11 and .640 in his first 2 games. It's not uncommon for stars from the big conference to pile on with the good numbers in early non-con match-ups. That could be what's going on here. The important thing for Al-Farouq is he appears to be stepping right into the lead role on this team. This is an obvious, but still necessary step for him.
• Marshon Brooks is averaging 17 PPG in 3 games with solid defense, passing and efficiency numbers. Like Al-Farouq, Brooks is in a great position to take over as the lead dog of his team. This is a good start on that daunting task.
• LaceDarius Dunn scores 61 points with 1 assist and 3 TOs in 2 games. He could score 50 PPG, but it won't matter if he doesn't learn to pass the ball once in awhile.
• Rotnei Clarke scores 51 points. We'll wait a few games on this guy, but it's cool to look at his stats and see that he's currently scoring 2.43 points per shot.
