Liam McNeeley Practice Highlights

[Staven]

Wow! Looking really good!

Start the Parade planning. First Threepeat in 50 years.

Good consolation prize for losing out on Flagg.

I think McNeeley will be more game ready on day one that either Castle or Hawkins. This will be a much stronger year for Big East freshman than last year.

Playing the level of competition he faced in high school and in practice in high school was good preparation.

DOOMED!!!

I'm hoping he's got a little chip on his shoulder to get out of his high school teammate's shadow and show he's as good or better.

Gotta love that quick, high release -- but his game's a lot more than catch & shoot 3s.

Wow! Looking really good!

Really like the cross court passes from him in this video. Looks like he’s got great court awareness & vision, in addition to his shooting and handle. Liam’s going to fit in great with our system! This team will be loaded and real fun to watch again next year.

I'm still going with the idea that DH is always innovating. There won't be a single starting lineup; instead he'll juggle lineups each game based on the opponent and run full on hockey-style lineup changes to totally freak with other teams' game planning.

they'll definitely run a few different looks this year. the personnel and depth is there for it.

We have never done this under Hurley and won't. It's bad for on-court chemistry and establishing roles. It would be a really stupid thing to do unless our season was unexpectedly in shambles. Starting roles shift carefully and patiently.

ala the Knicks Minute men, '69 Cazzie Russell, Dave Stallworth, Mike Riordan, '73 Dean Meminger, Phil Jackson, Jerry Lucas

wreaked havoc in their stints, often came in together. We talked about them once before.

I just don’t see how that’s possible anymore.

Nothing you've seen can give you a definitive answer about anything!

One of his teammates is going head to head against this year's Olympic team!

I couldn’t agree more! I know it’s only practice and game minutes is much different but like you said he seems to fit seamlessly into the DH system. I cannot wait to see him in action this season.
