Right. And MJ has a whole year before he’s a freshman in college to continue to develop. He’s got the size and the athleticism part. Add some range to that jumper and he could go 38/96 from 3.

I just think it’s a little overoptimistic — easy to say he could develop in the next year, but JJJ shoots it like a guard, quick release, off the bounce, at a high clip, and is also an absolutely elite shot blocker at the NBA level.

Again, easy to say MJ could develop, but nothing I’ve seen on film is really reminiscent of JJJ outside of the size and hops. Let’s just rein it in a little bit, haha

I lived just outside Forrest for the first 17 years of my life before the trip down 47 to Champaign!

I thought less people would know Forrest compared to Fairbury, but I could be wrong. Maybe more people do know Forrest over Fairbury because of Route 47 and driving through. Everybody I talk to mentions they liked to stop at the Gibson City McDonalds.

Very athletic dunk, but if he does that in college (with that lead, and the ball, and a couple seconds on the clock), Underwood better have a teachable moment with him.

Oh, he most definitely will (didn't realize that was the closing seconds of the game). What goes down in Overtime Elite doesn't in college ball. That said, advancing this as a point of concern is laughable.

The energy of the commentary had a And1-ish streetball vibe. This is an amateur pro league and not high school. The other team wasn't even mad. Guys chest bumped him afterward. Very first thing I noticed was the other team was named YNG Dreamerz so I just thought: "Oh, it's that kind of thing..."

I'm not taking this too seriously. He looks to be extremely athletic and talented.
