First off, let me just say... WOW. I LOVE THIS TEAM AND I LOVE SHABAZZ NAPIER.
Okay. There were about 25 different scouts there tonight with about 19 different teams. So I thought I'd share a little story. I was in the front row of the student section directly behind scouts for the Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, and LA Lakers (Jazz in particular.) I managed to snap this shot of his notes right before the game had started:
Now as the game went on, he added a few players including Amida and a few players from Florida (Patric Young, etc..) I was surprised to see KFace this early, and Ty on there!
He seemed to focus more on UConn players though. I kept on telling him he might want to add Niels Giffey to that list but I don't think he gave me a reaction the entire night
Throughout the game me and a couple of the people around me would try and take a peek at his notes to see what they said. Most players had about 1 or 2 lines of notes about them late in the game besides Patric Young and Bazz. DeAndre had some nice things written about him although to be honest it was really hard to gather a full statement without breathing down the guy's neck.
Bazz however, had at least 6 lines of full notes written out. Some of the things included: High basketball IQ, can hit big shots when needed, can create his own shot off of the dribble... If I asked my friend he could probably tell me more, but it's nice to see him getting a lot of recognition from scouts even if this stuff seems pretty basic about Bazz to us Boneyarders.
As the game went on, whenever Bazz, or any other UConn NBA potential bodies would do something well, I would let him know about it and tell him to jot it down
Kept letting him know the Bazz is the best PG in the country and he's seeing why first hand.
When Bazz hit the game winner and everything had calmed down after all of the interviews, I leaned over to him and said "Yeah... you might want to jot down that last shot." The Houston scout next to him laughed.
I didn't get a chance to get a snapshot of his late game notes for pretty obvious reasons. Wasn't about to whip out my phone with that intensity going on.
Was I being annoying? Probably. Was it fun? Abso-duck*ing-lutely.
8-0. Lets go Huskies.
