2024-2025 SEASON - NOVEMBER
It is still early in the season and early season stats can be misleading, but we are ranked 1st in offense, field goal percentage and points-per-game. We are also ranked 2nd in three-point percentage and 3rd in assists-per-game, but only 26th in defense and 30th in points allowed-per-game. So, it seems like another season of shoot the opponents out of the building or die. I'll take it though. At least we are good at something and to be honest, Chris Miller has struggled a little offensively. If Miller can improve his offensive game, we might be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
Bradley Beal is living up to the hype and he has been a great addition to the team. Beal is averaging 25.4 ppg(6th) and 6.5 apg(12th). Marcus Donovan is averaging 7.4 apg(7th) and Steven Adams is just outside of the top-twenty in rebounds-per-game, averaging 8.8 rpg(21st). Justin McCuthison is fitting in well as Adam's protege and is averaging 1.6 bpg(16th). I feared this was going to be a problem, as McCuthison indicated he wanted starter minutes, but he now seems fine coming off the bench. Rui Hachimura is having another excellent as a ball hawk, averaging 2.1 spg(7th) and despite only averaging 10.2 ppg, Chris Miller has four double-doubles on the season.
All-in-all, I must admit I'm pleased with the early season results and I expect the team is only going to get better as the season goes along. I still think we are a player away from being a real contender, but we did win back-to-back titles with a lone four-star player before, so it is not unthinkable.
