From Adama and Donovan we got a combined 77% FG shooting, which translated to 42 points. Throw in 13 rebounds/4 blocks and that’s very good production from the center position (although we admittedly pretend it is a forward position for Adama’s NBA draft purposes). One disappointment was zero assists from those two. That will need to improve later this week.
The more I see of Joey California the more I like his game. He has a very smooth shooting stroke, verticle jumping ability, and is a pretty nifty passer too. He shot 60% from three (3 for 5), had a leading 6 assists vs. 3 turnovers (a 2.0 assist/turnover ratio) and did not get abused on defense.
The two real solid, consistent performers are Karaban and Alleyne. Karaban plays with wisdom and poise beyond his years, as a red shirt freshman . As I have observed and from people I talk to, he doesn’t get too high or low. The kid just produces and acts like he has been there. Allleyne can play good defense and he was our leader in minutes today at 29 and shot 60% FG. Got 4 assists with zero turnovers.
Another surprise was Hawkins being our leading rebounder today with 9. He also got decent point production over-all this last couple of weeks.
