I guess the guys who told me Palmer was the best player in practice last year were right. Said he had a swagger to his game, but not in a selfish, detrimental way to the team. That seems to be the case. A big key for this year will be Roby. I think he's one of those rare guys who could likely guard every position on the floor. His defensive versatility alone is worth having him on the floor for heavy minutes. Offensively, he has the skills to be very good. It seems to me, however, that he still plays tentative - thinks too much, which leads to some awkward shots and turnovers. Just go hard, young man, and if you make a mistake, do it with authority. While it would be nice if he hit some jump shots, I think his real contribution to the team would be as a slasher who could take advantage of mismatches and create for himself and others. If and when he clears those mental barriers, we will be better.
