He got next...

 

[Huskybass]

Really looking forward to watching Facey develop. He seems like a great kid with some real skills. Once he gets a little stronger, he will be an impact player.

Looks like he has a nice outside shot. Hopefully all he needs is a chance and he will excell! Really looking forward to next year. Thanks clock shop for the video.

Next deandre?

Kid really has a high ceiling long athletic can jump... we will need him next year at the 4... hes going to get major minutes

 

[Leebo]

I'm worried that there weren't any chairs in the first part of the video.

I didn't realize that he was so proficient from 3 (it seemed more like a fluke when he made that shot against L'ville)...his ability as a stretch four can certainly be a weapon next season.
My only concern is that Phil, Amida and Kentan have all had a tendency to rack up fouls quickly.

Its exciting to think about the possibilities of next year's team. Impossible to replace Napier BUT the cumulative depth/talent will be very high. We also have some built in chemistry-- the bottom line Purvis Facey Samuels all practiced all year together with Brimah Nolan and Boatright. Add in high grade freshmen talent and lets go to war.

Yeah kind of a shame we won't get to watch DHam or Jr light it up this summer to keep the excitement going.... or 'monitor' Rock. I feel like we are doomed to endure a summer of Turtle threads unless we get a good new guy from 2015

WOW!

The game I saw him in HS it was essentially at the 5, and up it was all post-ups. He has a real nice stroke for a stretch 4. His post-up game was pretty solid very quick athletic moves but never saw him out there stroking threes like this. I didn't see a lot of his action as it was garbage time. But very surprised and impressed at his ability to hit from deep!

Damn, some of you guys could definitely make some good loot working at a marketing company!

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Him and Amida are going to be lottery picks.

 

[huskiesnyc]

Great video, especially considering he scored about 20 points all season. Is Torr Watts highlight reel next?

 

[Nuttersworth]

Couldn't help but notice Boatright do the Happy Gilmore on the bench for that last 3 in the video. So awesome.

 

[Rico444]

I like Kentan, but will admit I laughed when I saw this thread, consideringhe bare ly played last year. After seeing that video, I'm pumped up to see him get some meaningful minutes next year.

 

[mcs333]

The video truly captured almost all of KF freshmen highlights. He scored 28 points from the field in his freshmen year. The video showed 20 of them and both of his 3 point shots. He was 2-3 from three for the year. Can't wait for KO "to unleash" KF!

 

[jibsey]

Great put together and even though he had limited outside shot opportunities the one thing you see is that he is a natural shooter that shoots confidently. Just the 3 point drill shows that. See a lot of DD though I'm not sure if he has all of his inside touch. I wanted to see him have a lot more floor time last year because of his plus on the rebound side and next year the time is his if he brings it.

That was eerily similar to how Ajou Ajou Deng looked in practice before the 1999 Championship game…

Give Facey credit though, at least this happened in an actual contest. And obviously, there were no chairs involved either. He's clearly a step above.

 

[UConnSwag11]

if he plays with confidence every play he will be very good for us

Watching that video I saw a little Stanley Robinson in Facey's game. I was impressed with the three point stroke and we know the kid battles hard on the glass. I think we'll see big improvement from K Face next year. I think he's legitimately capable of putting up about 8-5 off the bench - those would be some solid numbers and a big improvement. He could be something by the time he's a junior/senior. He's often forgotten about when we talk about next year's team and the future but he was Mr. Basketball in NY and a big get for Ollie at the time. Next........
