Live From Nike EYBL (Corey Floyd)

Corey and #2 overall ESPN 100 prospect Jalen Duren. Rough first half for both of them, down 8 to PSA (Bouk’s old team).

Update: Corey was not impressive at all. I was able to watch ~75% of the game and I don't think he scored as I was watching. A number of turnovers when he did try to get aggressive (which wasn't as often as I would have preferred). Looked a little slow on D, but was dedicated in going for boards and did have a block (after his man beat him).

First time seeing him live, but the body language wasn't great either (hang dog situation) as his team was down pretty much the entire game and he wasn't playing well. Hopefully this is just a blip and only one game.

You can see why Duren is the #2 player though. Great combo of size/skill/athleticism. Got into early foul trouble so didn't play much in the first half. Not as dominant as you might expect but long term he definitely has the ability to be a productive pro.

This issue with Corey will be his upside. He scores the majority of his points because of his build, but that will not translate as well in college.

I am sure this was just an off game due to the first game of Peach Jam on a Tuesday.
