GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 I'd say, keeping up with games/scores this season may be near impossible. I, for one, won't be upset if he doesn't and won't blame him for not doing it. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrall’s Pearls 61 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I’ve been watching so many games on the video stream, I’m more into it this year than usual. Graham appears to be very good from what I’ve heard. The team to beat in the SWD for sure, maybe the region? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a traditional big but they are long and athletic and if it's an up tempo game, they're in their element. Tough to press as well, most of the time all five guys can handle the ball. If the outside shots are falling, they're gonna be tough to beat by the teams around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union has tons of quality size-their length would be way too much for the G-Men With Graham, teams they face better have fantastic and superb ball handling skills because often, when the ball is on the floor, the G-Men will take it. With Xay Bradshaw, he is going to take the majority of the opponents point guard or two guard out of the game. Just complete lockdown. Union is fantastic I'm certain from what they return from last year and Virginia Preps had them preseason 4th for a reason, but based on what they return from last year and what Graham returns and has, I feel confident Union is not 20 points better than Graham. Graham has been very good the past few years and the difference with them and the great teams of Radford and Gate City wasn't anything close to 20 points, and Graham has another typical Graham type team.

Graham is going to struggle to score against good defensive teams-they don’t have 3-4 scorers like they have had in the past. Graves is a handful but outside of him no one is consistently getting 15 a night. Union has 4 legit scorers, and a ton of size. They didn’t just beat Gate City, they dismantled them. GC doesn’t have the scorers they have had, but athletically they are probably better overall than Graham and it was just a total mismatch. I’m not sure anyone in SWVA is beating Union this year-just too much talent and length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union will be and should be the favorites to win the Region. Graham's defense and speed alone will keep them well within 20 points of any team they play. We will have to wait and see.
