First thoughts after watching Auburn’s Basketball Practice today:
1) Will be better this season than last on both sides of the ball
2) Tahaad Pettiford and Kevin Overton could be the best backcourt in the nation - absolutely electric and showed improved leadership
3) Steven Pearl had a whole off-season with his team, including a foreign trip - in complete control of his team and was harping details in his second season
4) Troy transfer Thomas Dowd is the X Factor - glue guy who does a little of everything with toughness
5) Freshman Caleb Williams is much better than advertised and will compete for a big role early
6) If the MASSIVE front line is able to catch lobs, rebound, and defend the paint - They will be VERY hard to beat
