Lubin a load to handle

Buford power forward Rakim Lubin transferred into the Georgia school from Gadsden City, Alabama earlier this year and coach Alan Whitehart sure is glad to have him. Just about every offensive set the Wolves run seems to end up in the hands of the 6'6, 250-pound prospect. After a slow start, Lubin hit his stride in the second quarter and played a huge role in Buford's 77-70 win over a talented Peachtree Ridge team. Lubin finished the night with 24 points, many of which came from the free throw line, and 13 rebounds.

Lubin took an official visit to Connecticut back in September and committed to the school while on campus. However, he did not sign a letter of intent to play for Kevin Ollie during the early signing period. He remains committed, but this will be one to watch as the late signing period comes around.
 
And here is the full game - Lubin is #4 in White:
 
@lifeball22: demarcus Simmond @TwoSpicee with 25pts Tookie Brown 33pts Rakim Lubin 18pts Cj Thurman 12pts. Buford loses on road 76-65.

@JoelFranESPN: St. John Bosco up on Millikan 35-28...Daniel Hamilton has been the best player on the floor....has his whole arsenal flowing..#Pacshores
 
@FrankieBur: Halftime: SJB 36, Millikan 28. Daniel Hamilton phenomenal first half for SJB, Malik Marquetti very good (again) for Millikan. #PacShores
 
.-.
@NealNieves: Daniel Hamilton is out here making pro moves. Bosco up 36-28 at the half. Malik Marcetti for Milikan showing off some nice moves as well.

@EtopUdoEma: Daniel Hamilton #StJohnBosco showing his whole package tonight driving and shooting pull ups. #UCONN got a Real good 1
 
Also, I got some stats on Prince Ali's first game. He played a inferior team but in 15 minutes he had 21 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals.

I'm not sure if there's a website with his game by game stats (doesn't look like his coach puts them on maxpreps) so I'll get his stats from his brother. He has a huge game this Friday against the person that many people believe is better than him in Florida, Antonio Blakenley. So if you have a twitter show him some love and wish him luck on Friday. It's his chance to shine!
 
@trigonis30: Bosco slowly pulling away from a scrappy LB Milllikan squad 50-38 with 4 min left in 3Q. Dhamilton already with 19 pts LBM's Marquetti w/14

the debate about Lubins height will rage on now. Certainly doesn't have long arms. But he and Brimah should complement each other nicely
 
ESPN article about the tournament Hamilton is in. This is what they said about him:
Best Player
Daniel Hamilton (Bellflower, Calif./St. John Bosco)
2014, WF, 6-foot-7, 180 pounds
Status: Committed to UConn
After an inconsistent summer, Hamilton showed his whole arsenal at this event. The multiskilled wing drained shots at all three levels and was especially good in the midrange area. He also added a few nifty assists.

1) UConn signee Rakim Lubin has a world of potential.

Much has been made in the recruiting world about 6-foot-7 power forward Rakim Lubin of Buford High. We talked about the four-star prospect in an evaluation of his practice in late-October. Lubin showed here in a matchup with Jacksonville signee Amir Warlock that he is capable of emerging into a player capable of making the Huskies better with his presence. Though he still isn’t as smooth offensively as some of the other posts in the class nationally, Lubin showed flashes of what could be in Storrs hitting a soft eight foot jumper off of a post spin move. On another possession, Rubin literally cleared space between himself and Warlock in the post with his shoulders finishing the basket with the future Dolphin draped all over him.

I want this guy!!!
 
He does look about 2 inches shorter than Warnock (the player who blue who he covers and is covered by in the video who is committed to Jacksonville U.). Warnock is listed at 6'9", so 6'7" is probably close to correct for Rock. Decent energy but doesn't beat other players up and down the floor. Plays below the rim and tends to force the action inside on offense. FTs seemed to be about 50%. He does use his body well in positioning and his hands seemedgood (not great but not bad). Doesn't try for shot blocks on defense. He did seem to fatigue over time and not run as hard.

He did throw an outstanding outlet pass to 3/4 court at about the 3:30 mark in the 3rd. He seems comfortable passing the ball and usually makes good decisions. His team didn't utilize him much for ball screens but he has the body to be great for screens.

All-Jared Cook Tip-Off Classic Team

PF Rakim Lubin, Buford: After moving to the north Gwinnett county from Alabama and committing to UConn, there were a number of people that wanted to lay some eyes on the mammoth 6-foot-8 post player. Consider his first impression a good impression. Lubin had to match-up with some of the beefiest frontlines in the Atlanta metro area and stepped up to the challenge in his individual situations. Lubin set the tone for what should be a very productive season moving forward.

Lubin sounds like a force, but is he tall enough to play the 5?

If not, would Ollie be OK with playing a lineup with only 3 perimeter players and two guys crowding the lane?

I think daniels and Giffey have been in the lineup together this year. One is the center. They are both about the same height as Lubin, but 50 lbs less. I'm assuming he can hold down the 5 against all but the longest centers in college basketball. Luckily we have AB, so it shouldn't be an issue most of the time.
 
@boscobasketball: At the half

Westchester 39
Bosco 33

D Hamilton 9pts
T Dorsey 8pts
R Henderson 6pts
