He is what he is. I'm not going to worry about him any more this season. I see he hasn't changed. Quirky habit, but I kind of like him otherwise.

Jefferson is a guy that stood out on a great St Mary's team when I watched them. As soon as I saw we were after him, I was thrilled.

I could guard anybody on our team for a solid half second.
Respectfully, Heise will play ahead of Nojus and likely will play a lot of minutes this year. Like, a lot. Really, really good, well-rounded player.

Interesting. What's that based on? I thought nojis was in the right spot more tonight and read the game faster. But... sample size is one here.
Good enough W for me. Impressed with the students section nice turnout for the 1st game of the season and a poor team.
Chatfield is a big boy not too many people are going to push him around. Hope Hawley is OK. He wasn't in a minute before he got hurt.

I'm not worried about foul trouble too much this year. Sure, a couple of players we don't want to foul out, but we have depth to spare. It seams.
Right or wrong my first thoughts after watching.
Momcilovic coming off the bench is certainly a choice. Arguably our third best behind Gilbert and Lipsey.
I thought Rock would get more minutes than he did.
Jefferson and Jackson look like they’re a really solid duo down low.
Our bench looks pretty deep and it’ll be interesting to see minutes shake out as the season progresses.
Surprised Watson stuck around. Looks like he won’t see much playing time as the season progresses.

Not one of our guys got over 27 min (Gilbert) tonight. It is going to be interesting. TJ is going to have to be a masterful coach, on the court and in the locker room. Players want to play. A lot of them on this team.
Size, rebounding, effort, experience, defense. Expected increase in experience and chemistry at this level as the sesson progresses like CJ last year.
MM vs CJ is interesting, looks like we are rewarding Jefferson for the camp rebounding belts. Not great rebounding with KG, CJ and MM group so needed a 3rd out there with TL and JJ/DJ.
Nojus looked great on offense but he got burned on defense a couple times, by a bad team. Expected for a true freshman playing in his first game, but Heise as the much more experienced player is probably going to make fewer mistakes there. TJ raved about Nate in the recent podcast with CW, I think he's really high on him.
The fact that Nojus played so much is a good sign for his development. Doesn't matter if it's just a buy-game, if you aren't doing what TJ wants on defense in practice, you don't play much. At least that is my impression from the outside looking in!
LOL you think TJ has playing time to divvy up, look at the situation Bill has to handle on the women's side. I've never seen our women's team have so much depth.
I like his game. I just don't think he's quick enough to stay in front of a lot of SG's in the league. He looks like a small forward to me where Nojus looks like a guard. I'm just looking at the roster and the # of players at each position. Lipsey, Gilbert, and Jones are about it to fill the 1&2 this year. We're gonna need a backup similar to Pav last year. Heise will get minutes but who's? Milan, Jefferson, or Jones? Just gonna be tough to spread minutes with this many quality players. I agree Heise is really good.
I couldn't be more excited about our bigs. Joshua Jefferson has an offensive game in the post like we haven't seen in quite a while. So smooth. Jackson is a beast.
We will lose a little defensively from what we had with Ward, Tre, and Big Rob last year, but the difference in offensive abilities is huge and was sorely missed at times last year when we needed buckets down low. I love how TJ goes out and gets grown a## men!
