Isaiah Abraham practice highlights

[Slick]

Hurley said he and his staff were surprised how good this kid is.

 

[dennismenace]

Nice, I didn't know he could handle the ball like that.

Seeing is believing.

 

[scotty0330]

Defense and hustle could get this kid more minutes than any of us expected. The athleticism is there in spades and he is not afraid to take it to hole and absorb contact.

 

[imno1]

Quick 1st step and a better than expected shooting form. Sure only highlights but Isaiah looks to be developing ahead of schedule.

 

[dennismenace]

He is supposed to be a lockdown defender as well so yeah he is someone we should be seeing. "Another 6-7 Uconn Jumping Jack." LOL. Can't wait!!

 

[REB1094]

Highlight film so don’t want to take too much away from it but……he can shoot??

 

[Umami Zen]

Combine his intelligence and high BBIQ with athleticism and motor. He's gonna be knocking on the door for PT this year. Under the radar guy getting on Danny's radar in practice.

 

[UofCT]

Omfg we are so deep

Isaiah’s cousin Patrick Ngongba also played for Paul 6 Catholic in that championship game but was coming off an injury and his impact and minutes were reduced.

Isaiah was the primary defender against Flagg. He also played some five out of necessity because of his cousin’s injury. We all know Flagg is outstanding and he did manage to score against Abraham, but Abraham’s defense limited those scoring opportunities.

Isaiah got in foul trouble playing the five which limited his playing time. But this kid’s defense is outstanding. And he scored against that superior Monteverde team.

The staff had focused on Patrick and were hoping to get the package. But Abraham will probably be one of the stories we write in the future like getting Jeremy Lamb or Cam Spencer when we lost out on our primary target.

I've never been more anxious for a season to begin, for recruits to commit, or even to find new posts on the BY.

Abraham also shot quite well from 3 in those games.

He seemingly just gets better and better.

I hear "ya " dog. I gotta get a life. Anyway excited what I'm reading about Abraham. Nice surprise.

 

[Khal Drogo]

Incredible talent and intensity. I would pay to watch these practices.

Incredible talent and intensity. I would pay to watch these practices.

The collective might make that possible someday soon lol

 

[Spaceman213J]

Another thing that may help him in the system is he played on a team where he wasn't the focal point much of the time. He knows how to be 'part' of a system.

Determining the trajectory of any athlete’s development is part science, part art, and part luck. When coaches are evaluating a player and getting a commitment they never can be certain whether that player can improve and develop into the athlete they project.

To get a player starting in the program significantly better than when he committed is a bonus. Hopefully the upward trajectory continues. I believe it will.

I feel the same way about Ross. It will be interesting to watch these two as the year progresses.

Like the Lamb and Spencer analogies and IA looks like a much better shooter than some here said.
IIRC the statements were he was a good defender and athletic but not an offensive threat.

I said it months ago. Andre Jackson with a jumper

 

[Citrusdog]

I'm impressed and excited to see see how things shake out as far as what players earn PT.

We just might see one of the deepest benches and evolving lineups and rotations as this team comes together.

You are probably right. IA, in those snippets, is much different than was in my mind. He is terrific - and very skilled. He and JS are going to really have some interesting battles. Defense is not on display - always a critical aspect to this. Dan Hurley was right - this team - to this fan’s eye - is quite talented and goes deep into the bench. It is very exciting to watch.

 

[jibsey]

Yikes, the kid is good.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Wait, what?!!! He can do that on the court?!!! Not at all what i thought he was. I thought he was just a super athletic rim runner who needed a lot of work on his offensive game. That kids got nice form, quick shot, handles and is explosive going to the basket. Wow!

Bruh! You nailed it. That clip took me by complete surprise. I had ZERO idea he had the type of skillset i just seen.

 

[Chief00]

Quite frankly, Isaiah is very talented and athletic.

And thee ability to drive and finish. Unfortunately Andre couldn't do that too. Just that silly floater.
