"Shootout at the Hall" in review
December 14, 2008 1:17 PM
Meyers Leonard - 15 points, 6 reb (all def), 5 blks. Simply a younger version of Tiz, nice touch on shot, moves slow, definitely a long range project.
Crandall Head - 21 points, 11 rebounds, 10 turnovers, many of the TO were risky passes that his teammates couldn't handle, but were not necessarily bad passes (like dropped passes thrown by a QB). Wow, in my opinion the best looking recruit from today, great court awareness, vision, PASSING ABILITY, good ball handler, shot OK but not overwhelming. Can be awesome on defense if he chooses, not a lot of "D" today at times, maybe by design? Tons of athletic ability.
Jereme Richmond - 18 points,11 rebs, 3asst, 6 TO, 3 asst. Good looking player overall, could be a tweener for a position in college. Good in every category but just didn't have the WOW factor today, (dunks yes) but that's not meant to be a negative, he looked really good, just didn't dominate in any phase.
Chasson Randle - 22 points, 6 reb, 2 ast, 2 blks, 3 stls. If coach can land this kid, it would be clutch. Tremendous shooter from all over the court, great body control, good vision and court awareness. Plays defense also. Sky's the limit for this kid.
Brandon Paul - 17 points, 10 reb, 5 ast, 4 stls. Another solid player, can be explosive, the thing I noticed the most was that Brandon plays a "team" game, plays good defense. He almost lulls his defender to sleep by working the ball around waiting for that moment, then "POW" he'll explode past you.
Wayne Blackshear - 8 points, 5 reb, 4 blk, 4 stl. Hard to judge from this game, his team seems average. Has all the tools to become a great player, just not enough to gauge from this game.
Joseph Bertrand - 14 points, 3 reb, 6 ast, another one that's hard to gauge, his team didn't play very well, very athletic, smooth shooting stroke, not a good game to get a fair assumption.
