Message: [QUOTE="nomar, post: 5043308, member: 651"] With the preface that I am [B]constantly wrong[/B], on the basis of watching his highlight reels and a little game tape, I was extremely impressed with -- and had extremely high hopes for -- Spencer. Spencer's stats at Rutgers also backed up the eye test. Not going to say I expected him to be as amazing as he turned out to be, but you surround a great player with other great players and that's what can happen. 6/6/23: [I]I want him more than I wanted Timberlake.[/I] 6/9/23: [I]As terrific as Hawkins was, I think Spencer and our freshmen can probably fill his shoes.[/I] 8/7/23: [I]Spencer is going to be amazing. He was great on Rutgets when teams could focus on him. Imagine how good he'll be on a team where everybody can pass and score.[/I] 8/7/23: [I]Again with the caveat that it was against a 5th-going-on-4th French division team, Spencer's body control and BBIQ were very impressive. There was a semi-fast break where Cam, rather than lunging himself toward the basket and into a moving a defender, which may have drawn a foul but just as likely would have resulted in a miss or turnover, instead took a dribble left out of the paint, spun around and took an easy 4-footer. Smart and effective.[/I] 11/6/23: [I]Although I haven't actually watched Spencer play like I have the returnees, I have pretty high hopes for him. He may not be as good as Newton as a creator but I view him as a better all-around player. Shooting, defense, ball protection.[/I] (Might have been a little strong there.) 11/21/23: [I]I'm often wrong in talent evaluation, but to me the difference between his highlight reel from Towson and Cam's from Rutgers were like night & day. I had no idea why KU and UConn were duking it out for Timberlake and was extremely happy when we got Cam instead.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.the-boneyard.com/threads/cam-spencer.191857/page-17#post-4668491[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.the-boneyard.com/threads/is-sanogo-the-player-we-miss-the-most.192064/page-2#post-4671714[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.the-boneyard.com/threads/highlights-v-le-cannet.192977/page-2#post-4717016[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.the-boneyard.com/threads/leading-scorer-poll.194561/#post-4779821[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.the-boneyard.com/threads/texas-post-game-thread.195007/page-9#post-4795633[/URL] [/QUOTE]
