Against stiffer competition with UC Riverside last evening, we seemed distracted and unorganized. There is a big drop off when Demin is out of the game. Dallin just has a presence as an experienced, intelligent, and crafty floor leader. With so many young and new players on the team, we need Dallin's leadership and consistency.

When Dallin is healthy, I think he will play 25 minutes per game. At least 10 of those minutes will be when Demin is resting on the bench. I can also see Hall and Demin playing at the same time for another 10 minutes a game, and I think Hall will take some minutes away from Knell.
