What a night for our floppy-haired light-skinned guys. I thought this was a huge game for Proctor, despite numbers not being eye-popping. He was all over the place on both ends, and while he made some mistakes, they tended to be errors of overconfidence where he got a little too ambitious feeling his own flow and trying to make things happen, rather than errors from being overwhelmed and wide-eyed. Total opposite end of the spectrum from early-season, and really promising for his trajectory.
I also love that we've gone to him as the unquestioned PG, to the point that Roach stopped right after midcourt on one of the last possessions and just waited for him to come take it. Our offense looks so much better with him Nashing around than with Roach cosplaying as a PG.
Also, this was an all-around encouraging night for Scheyer. Cameron looked like it had a terrific and organic energy to it, which I think he helped stoke this week, and the team just seemed prepared for the occasion. Each of the starters having at least 7 rebounds is good evidence of that, I think.
