Just highlights, but showing a scoring package i didn't think he had.
I mean this as a compliment: is this kid Paul Harris with a better jump shot? Because I'd very much be into that.
All I know is he better rock that tied karate kid headband in a UConn uni. Also love the sideways knuckle spin on his shot.
I like the spin on the ball off his hand, that knuckle spin is a shooter’s spin. He also shoots what amounts to a set shot with his feet barely off the ground, ideal. Good form too. Really like his shooting upside.His ranking does not match who this kid is as a prospect. 6'9 wingspan, 39.5 inch vert, built like a tank, and has a solid looking shooting stroke.
The best comparison is probably Purvis, but hopefully more consistent. Not sure Rodney had as much moxy though.I can't think of anyone like him at UConn in the past, as a high school kid:
Tate: skilled but not as strong and athletic.
Taliek: almost as big, but not as skilled.
KEA: skilled and big in another way but not as athletic.
Kemba: more skilled but not as physically big and strong.
Shabazz: more skilled but smaller (Boatright too).
Jerome Dyson and Tony Robertson: good matches.
Ben Gordon: maybe the best match of skill, strength and athleticism.
Floyd has so much going for him, and has some "swag" too, but handles himself
very maturely for someone so good and so relatively underrated. It's like he's
been raised to know he's good and that he doesn't have to try too hard to prove
it to anyone.
I was thinking the same. Man was that guy cut from granite.I mean this as a compliment: is this kid Paul Harris with a better jump shot? Because I'd very much be into that.
Kid can probably be an all-state linebacker and light heavy weight wrestler if he wanted to.I was thinking the same. Man was that guy cut from granite.
Hes not gonna be down that far much longer.His ranking does not match who this kid is as a prospect. 6'9 wingspan, 39.5 inch vert, built like a tank, and has a solid looking shooting stroke.
Down 3 with a minute and a half left you’re basically calling your best play. Their play here was to have Wilcher inbounding to hit Corey for an elbow 3 off a screen. They clearly trust his shooting. Scouting report on him used to be explosive slasher, average shooter. That’s clearly not the case anymore. Kid is sinking 3s left and right.He's looking like a terrific off guard.
