It's still early, and maybe it's because I played basketball for a defensive minded coach, but hopefully Beilein shores up the defense over the course of the season.  This will probably end up a blowout, but playing good D is going to be crucial for a team that has no problem scoring.

I hope he is by season's end, but I don't think he is a top pick at this point.  He is a very good college point guard, but he over dribbles at times, still has a tad too many turnovers and has questionable decision making at times.  Don't take this as me saying I want anyone else as M's point guard, but he is undersized by NBA standards and unless he develops more as a playmaker and cuts down on TOs and questionable decisions he won't be a top pick IMO.

If he demonstrates better decisionmaking this year, while continuing to be able create off the dribble, he'll probably play himself to a late 1st round pick.

After flirtingwith the NBA as a fringe second-rounder, I think the temptation maybe too much for Trey.

Don't get me wrong; would love him to stay, but I don't begrudge him the chance...

The thing I don't get about him is that, in warmups, I would see him go 8-10 straight makes multiple times...but something just happens in the games, even when he gets looks that are similarily open and in the flow of the offense.
