gilbert just did the most ridiculous move to finish in the paint, tony parker esque the way he dips by his defender and plays glass. done it twice today. obviously a great pick n roll player and defender.

From everything I've seen, he has an uncanny ability to finish strong through contact. His build helps with that, but it's also one those skills that some guards seem to have while others don't.
 
grant williams #23 on cp3 a beast downlow, great on the glass and finishing around the cup. also gilbert is destroying

not afraid of contact, very strong/wide upper body you can tell. similar to ty lawson.
 
Gilbert can get to the rim whenever he wants, but like boatright, is not a great finisher. He had a very shabazz esq 3 pointer, and his a good defender. Harry Giles is a monster btw

not a great finisher? what are you talking about he scores at all three levels

Idk what you've been watching but he is a great finisher, as was Boat, very creative around the rim

Boat wasn't really a great finisher, especially through contact. I haven't seen enough of Gilbert to say he is one way or another, but he looks more comfortable drawing/absorbing the contact and then finishing in traffic.

Alterique Gilbert having a great week here at Peach Jam. Thinks he & Jalen Adams can be next great UConn backcourt http://es.pn/1fxjjx5

that piece is riddled with errors/typos, but its good to hear gilbert is excited to be part of a two pg backcourt. Apparently that was key in his commitment, and ollie didn't even have to belabor the point.

"It was supposed to be the first primo, mano-a-mano Peach Jam face-off, pitting two consensus top-5 overall prospects who both feel they are the single best player in the country. Harry Giles III, the towering center-cum-fast break artist against pure scorer extraordinaire Malik Monk."

What the hell does that mean?
 
High level quickness. Range. Plays aggressive D. Scrooge handle. Great vertical off of 1 or 2 feet. Excellent court vision.
This young man will one day wear a ring.
Mark it down.
Taste has spoken.

Proximally, it means that he is both a towering center and a fast break artist.
Distally, it means that bastardized latin idioms are fast falling out of common usage.

CP3 plays Each1 Teach1 at 7 in the quarter finals. E1T1 has 5 star Isaac, 4 star Rowan, Bradley Jr Knox. Loaded team from Fla. Should be a great game. Just a note Chris Paul has been on the bench for CP3. AG getting some good instructions.
 
feed keeps interrupting itself for me. Just a few seconds at a time, but annoying as hell.

Alterique has not played well since I tuned in. Driving into the tress and getting blocked, missing a FT, etc.
 
With all the praise I gave him and his finishing , Gilbert has not played well at all in this half vs e1t1. Forcing do much nonsense at the rim instead of drive and kick . Giles is nowhere to be seen some 2017 kid is taking his lunch money , Isaac . And Rogers kid has like 10 turnovers. I forget how much aau resembles an open gym run lol pure chaos rarely any "good shots".

The later you get in these things, the worse it gets. Six games in three days - even if you end up dogging it a lot due to the AAU style - eventually leaves everyone playing raggedy basketball. You just want to see strong potential somewhere along the way.
 
Who is #2 on CP#3? Body shape-wise, he looks like a girl. A very short girl.
