I think Royal is the one surprised. Ya know that feeling one gets when the realize they just bought a lemon from a shady car salesman.
 
Royal actually had a nice little game with two blocks, a couple boards and some nice defense in limited minutes.

Look forward to him battling Marko for minutes at the backup four thanks to Hewitt's redundant recruiting.

......Julian Royal is starting to look like another version of Eric Copes. Both were perhaps graded a little too generous on the basketball recruiting grading scale. Not buying the rusty excuse anymore. Both Royal and Copes should have been given a mid 70 score instead of a 90+ range score in the scout grade.

And to think everyone was so excited about Julian Royal when he annouced he was transferring to George Mason back in May of 2013. Everyone commented about how this guy was going to be a beast...........

I assume we agree that Julian Royal is superior defensively to Marko. Offensively, Julian has been unimpressive. Let's hope that this is attributed to the injury and his shooting will significantly improve:

Royal: 29.4 FG% (10-34) including 0-6 behind the arc

Gujanicic: 47.8 FG% (22-46) including 2-7 behind the arc, & an assist/turnover ratio of 2.0 (14/7)

Forget that Julian was twice recruited by Hewitt, I think worse for him is that he has twice agreed to play for Hewitt. He seems like the type that with regular minutes would do ok as a pick and pop midrange shooter and an occasional post-up option. Sort of reminds me of Michael Redd (the one who played for GMU in the 90's, not the Bucks in the NBA). Unfortunately in this isolation, high screen, zero flow offense, his potential strengths are not highlighted at all.

It's remarkable to look back at Saturday and realize that he was not a factor the second half of that game, then suddenly to start OT we don't only put him in, but he spearheaded two god awful possessions that pretty much sealed our fate. What other team would that happen to?

I assume that you are referring to George Redd.

How about replacing Corey Edwards with Shevon Thompson before the game-tying buzzer-beating 3-pt. FG?

Yes, George Redd. My bad.

It was all very strange. Shevon is good at fouling when we're up 4 in the closing seconds. Too bad he didn't do it up 3.

I'm sensing an actual offensive/defensive late game sub that would actually make sense!!! Or we could just leave Jenkins in. He's the guy you want at the line.

The guy is a bust. Instead of being a player that emulates Ryan Pearson, he emulates Erik Copes unfortunately. :sidedead:
