This is ridiculous. Let the kid play everyone said he was one of the most impressive players at practice.

Very nice assist, quick to rebound, fouled on a shot, and then blocked taking a 3.
 
He's gunning. But he is very quick to rebounds.

Layup in between two trees.
 
nice bucket... and jay williams is going off on transfers
 
The McDonalds game always reminds me that no matter how highly bigs may be ranked, hardly any of them can catch a pass as a freshman.

Yup nice KO talk and Gilbert gets to loose balls and boards. He should have driven the hoop on that three pointer that got blocked. He seemed twitchy to get on the stat sheet.

I remember watching Donyell in the '91 game and thinking he was way overrated.
 
Quickest left to right player on the floor. Looks creative. Boat-esque, but more of a pg. I'll tamper my expectations to Jalen level production this past year.

I remember watching Rip in his game and him getting stuffed by the rim on a dunk attempt. I never trust these games.

Gilbert hasn't checked in yet, but a few observations:
- Bam Adebayo has brick hands and will be a rebounding machine limited by foul trouble
- Lonzo Ball is a terrific passer, as advertised.
- Josh Jackson is super athletic. Actually really does remind me of a scrawny Wiggins.
- Monk is going to be a terrific scorer this year
- Fox is quick but his shot is ugly
- Gonzaga has their next stud in Collins. I didn't realize he could shoot from the perimeter. Post game looks polished too

Josh Jackson ain't scrawny
 
Josh Jackson is so much better than the rest of these kids is crazy. He looks calculated in his actions, knows exactly what he's gonna do before he does it, whereas most of these kids are just trying to make flashy plays without considering the competition.
 
Sweet alley-oop to Marques Bolden there for AG there.
 
Playing a bit out of control/flashy, but his handle and agility are just insane.

Why the hell did they even hire ref's for this game? Not a single whistle has been blown all night, and guys are just plowing each other over for dunks.
 
Two of the three best players I saw in this game (I admit to watching it every year) went to LSU. Weird.

Chris Jackson (Mahmoud Abdul-Raouf) and Hot Plate Williams.

The third was Zach Randolph.
 
I turned on the TV just in time to see that dunk sick.
 
Alterique is gonna be nasty, quickest kid in the class and he's built.

Two more LSU guys I thought were going to be nasty, Randy Livingston and Lester Earl. For a weak basketball school LSU has had some freaks of nature with guys like the ones you named and Shaq, Stromile Swift, and Stanley Roberts. Two McDonald's guys I thought were surefire stars Jonathan Bender and Ronald Curry. I thought Rip looked horrible in the McD's game, not his kind of event.
