Canada Exhibition Takeaways

Attended both games because I have way too much time on my hands and here are some quick takeaways I was able to gather...

Usual starting lineup of PJ, Carsen, Dakota, Vince, and Haas. Nojel exclusively played PG, with Carsen playing almost 0 minutes at the point guard position. If Carsen fouled someone they'd take him out and bring Wheeler in and move Dakota up to make sure we had some athleticism on the floor. If Dakota fouled, CMP typically brought Cline in for him. Wheeler played all his minutes at the 3 or 4. Personally, I think we're loaded at positions 1-4 and can attack teams from every angle. Biggest question is what happens when Haas comes out or can't handle a small ball team. Taylor looked like he could be an elite rim protector but his offensive game is very questionable. The 6 minutes total Eden Ewing played between the two games was at the 5, which I'm a huge fan of. He played the 5 on his Juco team. Probably will never see it but a lineup of Nojel, Carsen, Wheeler, Vince, and Eden Ewing would be awesome
