You are way off of BA. He’s lost weight from his freshman season and is much quicker and leaner. Against La Salle, he was by far our best offensive player and no defender could stay in front of him. He beat his man with a very quick first step routinely and finished some ridiculous shots in traffic at the rim. He created a ton of operating space with his dribble and can create his own shot. Plus, he has an attacking, scorer’s mentality. You are way underselling him.

KL also finished some great shots over bigger guys at the rim, but he’s not consistently aggressive. Like to see him attack on every possession. But, he’s playing very well.

Not sure what more you could ask for from TK, so far. Averaging, what 22 and 9? What more do you want? He’s not a super athlete but probably best big man in Lehigh history and has an NBA chance. I think he compares favorably to Muscala, who is a legit NBA player.

Also, JC has been great in his first season. Very solid and capable with ball in his hands and he’s shooting a ridiculous 61% from the floor and 56% from 3. He’s been a godsend with injuries, stepping in right away with confidence. Really like this kid.

Have to be realistic here. We want them to compete with Big East and A-10, and they have this season. In last couple years have knocked off an SEC team, a PAC 12 team and a Big East team. That’s pretty impressive. We aren’t beating those teams regularly. Maybe surprise here and there, but it is PL basketball.

I think we win next 5, and dominate in PL. Bucknell playing well so far (better than Lehigh), but I like our matchups with them.
