A few weeks ago I convinced myself that Lubin was going to be the next Kevin Freeman. I thought KO was going to whip Lubin into shape and he would be running like a Deere. I even created a poll to predict who was going to see more minutes. Lubin or Facey. Thus far Lubin has really looked like a freshman who's not ready to contribute. On the other hand, Facey has been good. He hasn't showed much offense, but he had the decent rebounding game against Bryant. I thought he played good against Dayton as well. Neither he nor Nolan got a lot of minutes in the last 10 minutes of the game because of the 4 guard lineup. Facey probably would have got another couple of rebounds if we stuck to a more traditional 4. Anyways, I love his speed. He gets up and down the floor quite well. I'm not convinced he's the leaper Dom seems to think he is, but he certainly has better than average hops. Facey does not look like Kevin, but he's playing like Kevin did after half a freshman season. Getting some rebounds. Running the floor. Blocking a few shots.
I hesitate to call Facey a great leaper because there was a play in the first half of the Dayton game that a great leaper would of dunked. Facey brought the ball down for a nice reverse layup on the other side of therim. It was a good finish. But again, a great leaper would have dunked that all day.
