Isaiah Brockington

Perhaps a surprise starter for some (over another team leader Myles Dread), Brockington filled up the stat sheet.  15 points (on only 11 shots) , 9 rebounds and a huge block at the rim.  He will likely be the team’s leader in blocked shots with the departure of Watkins and Stevens especially given Ferry’s apparent small ball strategy.

Outstanding Question of the Day — Where did Myreon Jones go? His final line wasn’t too bad (12 points and 2 boards) but he didn’t hit a 3 (0-5) and didn’t check back into the game after his fourth foul.  The Lions didn’t need him today, but they will moving forward.
