I feel like I must have fallen asleep when Dra was in near the end of the year because I keep seeing people say he showed flashes late, and I just didn’t see it. He didn’t get lost as much on D and seemed to give good effort on that end, but I didn’t think results were great. I can’t remember if he was battling an injury, but he didn’t play much down the stretch of regular season after going 2 for 11 against Mich and PSU. He did play in conf and NCAA tourney, but other than the two 3s against Morehead, I didn’t see him do all that much. Again, maybe I was dozing.

I’d love to see him take a step forward in year 2 and he does seem to have the mental makeup for that to happen. A smaller guard with some jitterbug to his game off the bench would be a nice piece to have, especially on D against other smaller guys. But I need to see more from him to believe it will happen. As always though, I’ll be cheering that it does.

Ok, I am also 60+ and Bloody Mary's are pretty much my only drink now. Here you go: start with a Bloody Mary mix (there are many good ones, regular or spicy, Mix has more full body flavor than just tomato juice and I can drink some of them straight instead of tomato juice, which I don't drink), a decent vodka, then add a couple tablespoons of worcestershire, a couple tablespoons of pickle brine, a couple shakes of celery salt (or Taijin), then a splash of tobasco, and a little horseradish (adjust tobasco and horseradish to the "bite" you like), then a celery stick and a couple olives. I don't like a charcuterie board in my drink. That's all I got today.
