Watched the Duke/UK game tonight and it was great to see Uk get wiped all over the floor but of course i couldnt fully enjoy it as it was Duke after all. Got a real good look at the big 3 and in a word, scary! This is their first game of the season and theyre obviously going to get better and better as the season goes on as most teams do but as individual players it is scary to think where these guys are going to be by the time March rolls around.
Now Cam Reddish looks like he would be one of if not the best frosh in the country if he werent on a team with two super studs freshhmen. Cam is impressive but just looks like your typical elite freshman one n done type guy we see every season but Barrett and Zion look insanely good. They look like NBA players on a college team. Both these guys have no business playing in college and would be able to put up 30 on any given night in the league right now.
Zion is a poor mans Lebron skill wise but a better athlete. A human being thats his size that moves the way he does should not exist. He took 13 shots and nearly scored 30 without breaking a sweat. He deferred to Barrett and his teamates most of the night. Zion kind of reminds me of a mix of Charles/Mashburn/Lebron. He posted up a couple times tonight and scored easily and when he figures out tha there isnt a guy who can guard him in the post in the country this part of his game is going to be unstoppable at this level.
Barrett was compared to Harden and thats pretty much spot on except hes a little longer, quicker and more athletic while nowhere the shooter at this point. He`ll get better because the stroke is pretty smooth. He has a bunch of moves and is aggressive going to the basket and handles the ball effortlessly. everything he does seems smooth and effortless. I think this kid is going to win a scoring title in the NBA someday
Not impressed with either defensively but you could see the ability to defend when they wanted to. Its late and this is a bit of a rant but i had to post my thoughts because that was impressive.
