I was just a tad bit leary of this game, but overall, I thought we played pretty well.
The one guy I thought would really have to step it up in this game was Michael Washington, and he did.
Washington is starting to look like a man's man, ripping down rebounds with authority and taking control around the basket on the offensive end.
Cortney Fortson is starting to get comfortable with his role and his team mates.
Rotnie Clarke is definately a guy you can't leave alone on the perimeter. He'll burn you big time and he's a smart player that rarely makes a mistake.
I still can't quite put my fingure on Jason Henry, but I think he has a world of basketball talent. If he stays focused, he'll help take this team to the next level.
I like the competitiveness of Michael Sanchez.. His toughness and true desire will take him places. I hope he stays serious in the weight room, because he and Washington could be a major force inside by next season.
It's getting better all the time.
GO HOGS GO!!!!!
