The Brown/Joseph competition appears to be strong. It's apparent Barnes wants Joseph to take the reins, as his minutes show. Balbay was once again a non-factor.
I'd have to assume that Brown is still playing second fiddle to the other starters. He was excellent throughout much of the game, so if his "overall approach" to the game improves, he'd probably be starting.
Thompson's piss poor FT exhibition continues.
Hamilton was really good. And Johnson continues to do the little things that people don't notice much because it doesn't show up on the stat sheet. But really, he's the only one making stuff happen on some plays, even if he doesn't get the points or rebound.
The team made a better effort to force turnovers. Other teams are going to try to force things through our forwards. Better teams will have success, like USC. We need Hamilton to basically play all 94 feet of the court on both ends, or we're in for some trouble against good post teams.
