Wonder how long it takes for Anglin to break into the top 100?

Wonder how long it takes for Anglin to break into the top 100?

If he was 2 or 3 inches taller he’d be top 75 already. I really like his game

 

[Hey Adrien!]

That efficiency at 6'8 195 is insane.

 

[superjohn]

There needs to be an offer coming soon...

Starling vs Karaban live right now. Not a great start for either of them.

Starling vs Karaban live right now. Not a great start for either of them.

Expressions down 1 heading into 4th quarter. Karaban had a really rough first half but is now playing well, dominating the boards and hitting some threes. Claude is a player. Starling is really quick and had a couple really nice drives but seems he hasn't done much else. Atmosphere is crazy for this game.

 

[auror]

Expressions was down 3 with a minute and a half left and Karaban boxed a guy out but the guy just outfought him for the rebound and putback. Not ideal.

Starling disrobed somebody for a big layup then hit a 3 off a set play to ice the game.

 

[Psolo12]

Starling was the alpha in the fourth that's for sure

Worst I've seen Karaban look, shot it poorly and seemed to be bothered by their speed and athleticism turning it over and having problems around the rim. I think it was just a bad game for him. Wish they called the foul on Claude's 3 attempt down 5 over a minute left. Would've made the ending interesting.

 

[husky429]

No Bowen BTW.

Karaban is the guy. He oozes IQ and talent. Not flashy but everything you want in a 3-4 combo. Does whatever you need to win. Even shooting poorly this game, he's my #1 want for this class by FAR. Thoughts from the game...

16 PTS
9 REB (box score says 8 but they're wrong)
2 AST

3/14 FG
2/5 3FG
6/6 FT

• Solid fundamental rebounder
• Didn't shoot well overall at all... 3/14 from the field.
• Took some dumb shots early, just got flustered by their speed later on.
• More athletic than we give him credit for. He gets up. Not super quick end to end though.
• Makes his FTs. 6/6
• Stroke is a little low on the release, but great balance and comfort shooting.
• Solid fundamental defender. Not super quick laterally but smart enough.
• Talks to his coach a lot. I like that in a player.
• Not flashy
• He hedges and recovers really intuitively. Isn't thinking about when to step up at all
• Hit a DEEP 3 by the logo. This kid can shoot... then ANOTHER a minute later. Wow.
• Clearly, the leader of this expressions team, even as someone playing off-ball. Talks to his teammates, coaches, calling the plays from under the hoop. Starts the sets, all that.
• Had a nice block coming to help under the hoop. Stays straight up vs contact
• Good hands. Some of those rebounds were tough snags
• Hits ahead/chooses to dribble after rebounds perfectly
• Got blocked once on a 3... happens with the low release. Blocked one more time at the rim later.
• Got a charge call on him when posting up
• Even played quite a bit of 5 when they went small. Definitely a more of a 3/4... maybe like 3.75, leaning towards a 4 right now.
• Needs work defending the rim in transition... Doesn't take the right angle to make it tough... still, he's the first guy back defending the rim. Love to see that anyways
• Definitely not a great game for him, but the pieces I've seen are there. When he shoots better later this weekend he'll look like a star. Made a lot of good plays... just couldn't score it.

Starling:

19 PTS
1 REB
0 AST

7/13 FG
3/7 3FG
2/2 FT

• Quiet early. missed a bunch of threes
• Had a nice drive early second half. Showed a little more off the bounce than I've seen before.
• Doesn't really even bother to look for the scoring pass usually. Not a passer
• Worst he's looked in a game to me that I've seen out of I think 4
• Doesn't pass so when his shot is off, he doesn't add much value. Not a lead guard handle either... more of a 2G
• Does have a knack for hitting 3s when you need them.
• Another good drive... looks stronger.. Didn't do that at La Lumiere. 3 or 4 total.
• Got hot late from 3. The kid can SHOOT when he's on.
• Dominated the 4th quarter.

 

[Psolo12]

^ Much better job of summing it up than I did in the Karaban thread lol

 

[raf46]

He's going to look great in his Huskies jersey.

lets get him! a huge get.

 

[Ricker]

Bowen played on a different Expressions Team 16u with Gavin Griffiths vs a team with Matas Buzelis who only got 1rb and scored 5 points in 24 min after looking like a juggernaut in Avon. I switched back and forth between games so missed Starlings better plays I guess. My personal choice is Anglin. Made 2 more 3's than the box score but waived off because of offensive fouls by other guys passing to him. Only 6 points for Filipowski but good on the boards. Very few big name guys are really killing it in the games I've watched pieces of.

JJ Taylor who is arguably the best '23 prospect in the country is also on Matas Buzelis team, he had 12 points. Gavin Griffiths had 25 against them.

11am this morning Taylor Bol-Bowen & Gavin Griffith vs Jayden Lemond. All 3 having good starts to Peach Jam 16u. I have only seen bits of Bowen & griffith at Avon and have never watched Lemond so I am looking forward to this Expressions 16u vs PSA Cardinals. Matas Buzelis at the same time for Mac Irvin so I will peek there as well. Combined with watching the Open from 5am = nice morning considering grey and overcast again.

Is there a livestream? The schedule says they are playing at Riverview Park Activities Center.. but I don't see any corresponding court name on the livestream page.

 

[Ricker]

Yesterday when on was on the 'Schedule' page for the 16u and selected 'Livestream' when I was on that page, the courts were the 16u games. When I chose 'Livestream' when I was on the Eybl schedule it brought me to those courts. I'm relying on that today or I'll be scrambling too.

Great call Ricker... I hadn't realized we could watch the 16u games or I would've watched Bowen and Lemond--I have a strong hunch they'll be the core of our 2023 class... Performances from our 2023 targets:

No Isaiah Miranda

Reid Ducharme and TJ Power both playing 17u so understandably less great looking stats.

Ducharme vs Indy Heat - 3/1/1. 1/5 FG. 0/2 3FG. 1/2 FT. 0 TO. 0 BLK. 0 STL.
Ducharme vs Team Final - 1/3/1. 0/4 FG. 0/2 3FG. 1/2 FT. 2 TO. 0 BLK. 0 STL.

Power vs Indy Heat - 7/3/1. 3/8 FG. 0/1 3FG. 1/4 FT. 0 TO. 0 BLK. 0 STL.
Power vs Team Final - 13/2/5. 3/13 FG. 3/9 3FG. 4/6 FT. 0 TO. 2 BLK. 2 STL.

16u:

Bowen vs CP3 - 17/9/1. 8/11 FG. 1/2 3FG. 0/1 FT. 2 TO. 1 BLK. 1 STL.
Bowen vs Mac Irvin -18/9/0. 9/11 FG. 0/0 3FG. 0/0 FT. 3 TO. 2 BLK. 0 STL.

Lemond vs Mac Irvin - 15/1/5. 7/12 FG. 0/2 3FG. 1/3 FT. 4 TO. 0 BLK. 1 STL.
Lemond vs Woodz - 7/8/4. 2/7 FG. 0/2 3FG. 3/3 FT. 0 TO. 0 BLK. 1 STL.

Middleton vs Howard Pulley - 12/3/4. 6/6 FG. 0/0 3FG. 0/0 FT. 1 TO. 1 BLK. 0 STL.
Middleton vs Seattle - 12/4/0. 5/12 FG. 0/1 3FG. 2/2 FT. 2 TO. 0 BLK. 0 STL.

Edwards vs Mokan - 15/4/1. 5/12 FG. 3/7 3FG. 2/4 FT. 2 TO. 1 BLK. 1 STL.
Edwards vs UPlay - 17/8/1. 7/15 FG. 1/3 3FG. 2/2 FT. 0 TO. 0 BLK. 1 STL.

Johns vs Mokan - 21/0/0. 8/13 FG. 5/10 3FG. 0/1 FT. 0 TO. 0 BLK. 1 STL.
Johns va UPlay - 11/1/0. 5/9 FG. 0/4 3FG. 1/1 FT. 1 TO. 0 BLK. 2 STL.


Is there anyone else wer'e recruiting heavily?

I will need to watch the Team Final game with Reid Ducharme again if it is on YouTube. Either the player I thought was Ducharme wasn't #12 or the scorer was blindfolded. The numbers were tough to see on the feed so there is a chance I made the mistake, but I think Ducharme might have taken 10 3's. He missed the first 3-4, made the next 3 straight, then missed the last 2-3. The official scorer has him with 3 overall shots? He took it to the hole 2x and got blocked at the rim as well. I know the scorers are bogus re personal fouls because some games have 20 trips to the line with 6 total personal fouls in the box score total for the 2 teams. Interesting but impossible. Does screw up my thoughts on Ducharme until I decide if I was watching the right guy.

Once the games start, they have live stats on the schedule page you used here: EYBL Schedule - Nike EYBL

Were you watching 16U or 17U? According to the box scores, TJ Power and Ducharme have only played 17U for BABC this weekend.
