So, without Love, I guess we will have an 8 man rotation again this year?

Flo
Brown
Mayer
Flagler
Akinjo

JTT
Sochan
Cryer


Sounds like Dainja was injured all summer and didn't start practicing until recently, so he probably won't battle for any minutes until later in the season. Any chance Loveday and Turner have improved enough over the summer to earn some minutes?

Surely will see some of Loveday and Turner at least early against cupcakes. Would be nice to have a few more reliable pieces in case of injuries
DanaDane

Other than obviously winning, I will consider tonight a success if:

1. Akinjo looks like he takes control as a leader at the point.
2. Brown displays flashes of the potential we have all heard about
3. Cryer looks confident in his shot (although it sounds like he may only play limited minutes)
4. Sochan contributes

Looking for:
1. Defensive intensity and positioning
2. Mayer/Akinjo/Flagler leadership
3. JTT's offensive improvement
4. Mayer in PNR and PNP
5. Sochan / Brown in action finally
