Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 3460576, member: 6696"] 19 PTS (15 pts in the first half. didn't look to score in the 2nd. 2-3 shots only. Acted as a press break and distributor most of the 2nd half) 9 REB (2 off) 7 AST 3 TO 3 STL 2 BLK 6/13 FG 3/5 3FG 4/4 FT Just like a lot of recruits, he really seems undisciplined and kind of lackadaisical in this game. I think that has to be the new norm. Definitely looking for the flashy pay more than the fundamental one--trying to get the highlight reel. Coaches Gotta see the gem through the rough teenage attitude, lol. His team was way up for most of the game, to be fair. So there wasn't much reason to try hard. True point forward. Looks stronger than last summer too. Excellent, excellent passer for his size. Drive and kick to corner shooters, moving the ball vs pressure, feeding the post and high post vs the zone, passing out of the post. Great bounces passes with some English on them. Overhand, underhand. Left hand passing isn't as good.. but can pass with both decently. Looks really solid passing in the half court. The comfort and quickness of his decision-making is translatable even in the competition isn't really high-level. I'd expect a real learning curve to learn to get those passes off versus better players. But it's good to see how many kinds of passes he has in his bag. Must have had at least 15 more potential assists that he teammates missed. The assist numbers aren't indicative of the passing ability. Shooting is coming along. Ugly, ugly shot... but better. And he's making them. Problem is 1) he grips the ball from the front. 2) he gets his elbow "down" but his hand isn't on the ball straight... he just has a really flexible wrist which makes that possible. Slow but steady progress will keep him shooting well, and up the %s over time. Definitely not a TOTAL non-shooter like we thought 6 months ago. His ability to rebound and take off in transition is going to be really entertaining for fans. Ridiculous block at 33:53 [/QUOTE]
