5-on-5
Here are the 5-on-5 teams Ben Howland was using in today's practice.
Gold = Darren Collison, Drew Gordon, Mustafa Abdul-Hamid, Alfred Aboya and Jrue Holiday.
Blue = Jerime Anderson, James Keefe, Michael Roll, Josh Shipp and J'Mison ``Bobo'' Morgan.
Some observations so far...
Collison and Holiday have played well together. They were also able to break the fullcourt press with ease. After breaking the press on one possession, Collison had an open shot, although it was well behind the 3-point line, and he passed to an open Holiday, who drove and scored on a floater on the baseline.
Alfred Aboya fell and grabbed his left foot, which was a very brief scare for the Bruins, but he got up right away, walked around and returned to halfcourt defense.
Michael Roll made an open 3-point shot, prompting the yellow team to run sprints.
Morgan has made some nice plays - including an offensive rebound in halfcourt offense and he deflected a Collison shot in the lane. You can hear the name ''Bobo'' by Howland or assistant Donny Daniels nearly every play...whether it's for something good or bad.
Nice job Jill - thanks.
Did Alfred commit any silly fouls which made the team run sprints?
how did jerime anderson look?
Don't recall any. But he was down on the court a lot, as is usually the case with Alfred, who is just as intense in practice as he is in games.
He looked good, especially considering this was just his third full practice.
thanks. good stuff...looks like the staff is really pushing bobo hard...we're going to need him to shine
Awesome Jill, love the update. Pls keep them coming as long as you're allowed to view practice!
This is awesome. Thanks for the insight Jill. I wish I could be there. It's amazing that we have enough talent for 2 starting 5 teams. This will make us that much better since we'll always be practicing against quality players.
Can't wait...football's bringing me down
