But they didn't come to insult the rookies, rather the initiative drove them to watch hundreds of players honing their skills in the early stages.
As they entered the pitch, many fans stuck out their arms and shouted the names of the players. Many of them also carried markers, hoping to get their names signed by the players. But this sort of thing was almost unheard of last year and the sense of something more jarring shook their already well-formed mentality a little.
Players who have confidence in themselves are sure to gain a lot of fans, Gilbert and Davies are among them. The Point Guard and Small Forward have always shown their class without any drop in performance since their freshman year. Those who need a lot of consistency are sure to be the ones who can carry their team.
Coach Marlon and Kein also recognise that. If those two weren't around, it would be very difficult to compete with other top teams like Old Olympiacos or Saint Unomia.
