  • Dave Reynolds 7/15- Working out with the Braves

    Working out with the Braves-


    If anyone has a problem with reading this article, PM me and I'll fill you in.

    Some interesting tidbits-

    Taylor Brown, the 6-foot-6 forward who was forced to sit idle for seven long months because of a suspected heart condition, returned to the court the past two days for limited scrimmages with his teammates.
    Brown.... was joined in the practice games by 6-9 Jordan Prosser, who was cleared to play last week, also on a limited basis.
    The Goodfield native was dominant inside at times Thursday. At a chiseled 242 pounds, Prosser is Bradley’s strongest big man.
    ...Jake Eastman and sophomore guard Walt Lemon appear to be much improved in the summer workouts. Both are aware of this team’s great need for 3-point shooting and have made positive adjustments in their outside jumpers. Lemon is also putting his superior speed and quickness to better use.

      Great news about our "experienced" guys.
      We are looking for JP to be the man down low for cleaning up and being at the right place at the right time.
      I know that Walt will be very good - just didn't think he was used correctly at times last year and we should have seen improvement instead of regressing. I think Coach Ford will know how to bring the best out of Walt.
      And IMO, he's the best on-ball defender we have with his quickness and not afraid to get physical.

        I will definitely be looking to WL for more contributions this season. I'd love to see him play like he did vs Duke last year more!

          We saw glimpses of WL's talent last year. He seemed to propel the team early in the season. Aside from his ability to drive and score close to the hoop, he has a nice little floater from about 10 feet that I'm sure we'll see more of this season. If he improves from 3-pt. land, that would be a benefit too.
