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

I'm trying to remember when Oregon had a regular PG as bad as Hardy. Hes a turnover/foul prone over-dribbler. Jeez. Dude pounds the ball more than Payton. Will... please come back soon.

Looking much better tonight!

Agreed. It’s so nice having perimeter players with size that can create plays.

Eugene O has added so much to his game since he was at Rutgers. That 17 foot pivot jumper makes him pretty damn near unguardable 1 on 1 at the college level.

Props to Jalen Terry tonight too. Helps when the shots go down, but he plays his ass off on defense too.

If Dante and Lawson improve defensively, we have a shot to be a top 10 defensive team this year once Richardson comes back. We have 6 guys on the wings that are legit +defenders. (Duarte, Figueroa, Terry, Williams, Richardson, Omoruyi).

Dante's pick and roll defense is night and day from last season. Just the awareness and how to best use his length to work on.

Omoruyi in 2 games looks like Draymond when his shot is falling. In some ways, Terry benefits from more time with Richardson out and his defensive chops are well suited to Altman's system.

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.

I feel really good about Richardson (hopefully), Duarte, Williams, Figueroa and Omoruyi as this season progresses. With those players getting the bulk of the minutes, we just need a few other guys (preferably the big ones) to not be totally incompetent. At least Dante improved on his first game debacle, so there may be a glimmer of hope (if he can stay healthy for more than a few days). I'm sure he thinks he is back on the fast track to the NBA after only missing 1 dunk. As for Chandler Lawson, he is apparently trying to channel his inner Lok Wur.

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

Wish we could keep a little more size on the floor, but I like this team a lot.

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.
