Definitely looks bigger. I think the guys calling him 6’5 now have it.
- As I’ve said before… the kid is a great defender already--much different in that regard than anyone we have at the PG/SG/SF spots except maybe BAdams right now and Reese if you count him as a 3. Moves his feet really well on the perimeter with great balance and focus. Easily staying in front of his man in the full-court, just seems to glide when moving his feet.
- Game was a blowout early so maybe not too much to learn.
- Coach has him handling the ball more than last year. Still not great, but good to see he’s getting game reps to work on it.
- Looks to me to be the best player on the floor by far. This year will say a lot about his leadership… Dematha lost a lot of talent and isn’t expected to be as good as year’s past.
- Played maybe 20 minutes total out of 40. Sat most of the 2nd half.
Unfortunately, no youtube video and I don’t see how to link a FB video to a specific time. Here’s the link though:
50:06 Really smooth 1 dribble pull up--first offensive possession of the game. Nice negative step and head fake.
51:56 block from the helpside
1:05:30 buttery corner 3. I’d love to see him running off the same screens we throw Polley/Bouk in for 3s net year.
1:06:30 Same alleyoop play we run for Bouk almost… just a bad pass.
1:09:40 Vicious putback after the offensive board
1:35:00 tomahawk slam to start the second half
1:35:35 aanndd another one
1:36:54 fingerroll
1:39:30 3 ball
