P.R. Disaster

Who booked that basketball trip to Puerto Rico? Actually, this was supposed to be the year Tim Floyd had a core group of experienced players back, but the Trojans are 3-2 following today’s 83-72 loss to Missouri.
Daniel Hackett had eight turnovers and DeMar DeRozan was 2-9 from the field. I don’t doubt the hype that DeRozan will be a top five pick in the NBA draft but the thing that always worried me was that he is 18 years old and not a finished product like 20-year-old O.J. Mayo. So it will take him time to develop this season. More distressing is the lack of production from guys like Hackett, who is supposed to be a leader this season.
