Dude has done some serious growing up since he first arrived at UL. Very happy for him. Can't deny that the players who buy into Marlin's coaching are rewarded for it.

Thanks for the update. Solid work on day one at the new gig.

Only issue he had was a struggle at line with 2 for 7. I am sure nerves responsible for that. Sixer fans very encouraged by his play on one of their chats.

Dont forget the 2 dimes! One of the boards was an offensive rebound which I didnt think they actually did in the League anymore.
He looked good. Very aggressive and sprinted the floor.

We know Sean history at the free throw line is about 2/3, but he is streaky. Since there is zero difference in an NBA free throw goal and a high school free throw goal I suspect he will continue along his historic average. Might improve with better coaching.
