Figueroa is a exactly what this team needed. Dude is Johnny Hustle.

There was nothing not to like about his play. Did everything right. When Richardson comes back, this team will have all the attributes needed for a late tourney run. With all the transfers, they look like one of the senior-laden tough-as-nails mid-majors but with great length and athleticism.

Mid major? Omoruyi is going to make a living in the NBA, I really hope the Blazers take him. Dramond 2.0. This team will win the pac 12, nothing mid major about this team, once it gels.

I'm saying they look to have the demeanor/mentality of those teams BUT with length and athleticism. It's a compliment...

I had the same thought. I don't love the way we use transfers to sustain the program so often but if you're going to go that route this is the way to do it. Really talented mid-major guys who play with grit and a chip on their shoulder. I can already tell I'm going to love this team.

Interested to see next couple of games but original thoughts:

Omoruyi is a stud. Smart, skilled, athletic etc... Like others said, he plays exactly like Draymond. Glad he is on our team

N'Faly is looking special on the boards. Generally speaking, he looks to be playing a lot smarter out there. He has the skill/ability. We will see. Would like if he was a bit more aggressive after getting o-boards.

Terry - liking what I see so far from him. A more traditional PG who can shoot it and spread the ball around. Wouldn't be surprised if he replaces Hardy at some point before Richardson comes back.

Figuoria - Steals + energy + length. Very excited. We will see how much of a contribution he can be on offense.

Eric Williams - this guy is looked with potential. The size of a forward but the skills of a guard. When he attacks, the other guard can stop him with his size. Excited to see what he can do.

Hardy - unimpressed so far. He seems to be a score-first guard but his ability to create off the bounce is not very impressive so far, We will see.

Duarte - as expected. Scorer + defender. Would like to see more consistency/involvement on offense even when things are going for him.

Figueroa looks like he's gonna be another stud. Him, Omoruyi, and eventually Richardson could be a really nice core.

His defense


I really like our potential to cause turnovers (through charges, steals, etc).

Also buckmark said it in the other thread, but Terry is gonna be a good one. Really nice to have him with Richardson out. Nice win for Ducks!

Amazing what the difference two days make. And the addition of Figueroa. When Richardson gets back, this could be the most complete team in the Pac12. Can switch at almost any position. But the bigs have to play big against bigger teams. If the Ducks bigs play soft, as they kinda have at this point, there could be trouble. Lawson looks like he has regressed, for whatever reason.

Yeah Lawson looked the worst of all our team. Kinda a bummer since he is one of the few guys with experience. Hopefully just an off game.

Lawson is having that early Sophomore slump I am thinking. Looks like he is feeling a little self applied pressure to establish his role on the team. I suspect in a game or 2 he'll be back to at least his Freshman level.
