Ennis

[RF2044]

There is no doubt in my mind that some of the subtlety of his game will be lost upon some posters--especially those who were writing him off after the first game--but I believe we are witnessing greatness at lead guard.

He certainly isn't the world class pound-for-pound athlete that Flynn was.

He doesn't have the difference making size that MCW did.

But this kid is something special to watch. His lead guard aptitude is off the charts.

He sees everything on the court, sets people up in perfect position to score.

 

[Marsh01]

Love the patience he is showing.

 

[OttoMets]

He plays so deliberately. What a great job setting up Baye on the break.

 

[jordoo]

I will cry when he leaves and then we will al see how great he was the following season.

 

[jgeorge322]

I'm not sure if I see eye to eye w rf a lot but Ennis is a stud. Imagine this team without him...

 

[CorduroyG]

This kid is special, he's gonna take us places

 

[jordoo]

He is so good at setting up offense and players that some won't notice.

 

[The General]

He is a floor general. It's his 7th game and he looks like a jr.

 

[BomberOrange]

the kid flat out gets it. If we need him to score he will. If we need a steal, he'll get it. If he needs to find the open guy, he does. I also think that he has big time quickness that allows him to either drive to the hoop or make some steals.

In the limited action I'd seen of him last year I figured he'd be poised, under control, etc, not one to dominate but at least hold his own. He's shown a lot more ability as a scorer than I had imagined, and frankly, has been a dominant player in Maui. Does not look like a kid who's playing his 7th collegiate game.

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

He's the best I've seen here. A mix between Sherm and Z. That after 7 games. Wow..

 

[senorpalmer]

A great complement from Bilas in his comparison of Ennis to Doc Rivers.

A great complement from Bilas in his comparison of Ennis to Doc Rivers.

If he keeps running the point like he is now you can kiss him bye bye after the season.

That's the best comparison I've seen yet.

Still wish he could finish better. Really nice floor game, though.

 

[senorpalmer]

That's the best comparison I've seen yet.

Agree. Had to go back quite a ways for that one but I can't think of a better one.

Your bad. ; )

 

[OttoMets]

Oy vey.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I just don't understand how he wasn't the top ranked point guard coming out of highschool. It's like you couldn't put together a playing style better suited to being a point guard. Just awesome.

 

[cuseguy]

I saw this in him in high school. I hope you all did.

Carry on.

 

[Jasoncuse]

He grew up in these past 3 games more than any SU player has in a single season (hyperbole, sort of).

SHUT UP!

I think a lot of it is people getting really excited about flashy play and using that as a standard of great play. You won't see that from Ennis, just all the things this thread has talked about. We are so lucky to have him.

 

[Flacusian]

Another fabulous pick by JB!

 

[zhanjuzi]

He was absolutely sick tonight. He has such a subtle second gear .. its so smooth and impossible to anticipate. Never seen anything like it.
