CROCSMore:
Robertson - Solid game. Shot well.
Cedar - Also a VERY solid game. Showed excellent passing skills, and had an awesome one handed dunk from outside the key in the fourth.
Rillie - Triple after triple, he was strokin it.
Abney - Looks like an athletic long player. Doesn't attack the rim like Calvary, but has a reliable soft touch around the bucket.
Calvary - I counted about 5 dunks in the first half alone.
G & D Vanderjagt - Decent games inside.
Rose - Didn't do too much.
Murray - Played ok.
BULLETS
Rucker - Played well.
Copeland - Didn't do too much.
Hill - Awesome game, got it done.
Williamson - Solid game. Never looked out of place on court, even when defending much taller timber.
Brannen - Solid game.
Baynes - Played well against Calvary and Abney ... numerous boards/points/blocks.
Shaw - Distributed well.
Darragh - Didn't do too much.
Gurney - Didn't do too much.
Nasalo - Ok in patches.
