[QUOTE="IlliniCC, post: 1427893, member: 622982"] What I saw from the Georgetown game... Ayo: What can I say a freshman stepped up into the star role in just his second game on the team. He showed huge confidence and wasn’t afraid to take any shot. He demonstrated a knack to get to the rim against anyone and stroked it nice from 3, the 1 assist and 1 rebound is a product of him taking on the brunt of the scoring on offense. One thing I did notice was his foot speed on defense tended to be slow and was beat on the dribble by McClung and Akinjo, but those are two of the faster guards we will play this season. Giorgi B: We got a kid that should have been Top 100 recruit that was hidden in a team chalked full of D1 talent. His ability to score on all 3 levels of the offense while hitting the glass is quite impressive. He may be already better than Finke was in any of his years on the Illini. I thought he did an okay job of containing Govan and relegated him to outside shots (which Govan did manage to hit). The potential on Giorgi is enormous and the fact he has already figured out the pinch post pretty well is a good sign for the future. Kipper: Slow. I mean for a guy who is naturally a small forward it seems like he has a crooked shot and can not dribble down the court at a fast enough pace for this transition offense. Did what he did best mid game by utilizing the ball screens and driving to the basket. Also thought he boxed out well on the boards. His mistakes at the end led to the loss, and it was yet another typical frustration game for Kipper. Feliz: He energized us when we needed it the most, and his hard work on the defensive end put us in the front of the game towards the end. Great finishing at the rim, but that’s pretty much all I have to say about his offense in which he has turned the ball over 9 times in 2 games, and seems like he has to back the ball out 8 out of 10 times trying to drive to the rim. He is mainly trying to do to much and that can be corrected especially with his ability to stuff the stat sheet. The Rest: Aaron Jordan- Needed his 3 pt shot poorly, rebounded well again Jones- Length added a new dimension for the offense, grabbed boards with two hands. Williams- Did everything right. His defense prowress is the best out of the guards, and moves the ball efficently on offense. Made shots and drew contact. Needs 20+ minutes a night 10/10. De La Rosa- Came back from an ACL for his first game but I don’t see where he fits in the offense. Tried to force his shot. Griffin- Lankier version of Jordan? [/QUOTE]
