If he comes in as 6'10 or so, contests shots and brings his already decent all-around offensive game, he could do a ton of damage bringing big men inside and out.
Poor kid.
I think you may been thinking of Jahlil Okafor, who has gotten Sullinger comparisons.Poor kid.
That's that Sullinger clone, yeah?
I just don't think Towns mixes well with Beasts. He's more of a "European" center. Zing!
Wow! Monster. I can see why he was a problem for poor Karl.
Maybe he's trying to get picked number 1 overall and be on the NY Knicks so he's mimicking his game after Andrea BargnaniWow! Monster. I can see why he was a problem for poor Karl.
In fact, although Towns has unique ability, I don't know how well this translates to the next two levels.
This isn't exactly a finesse game he's finding out. Has to get tougher and when guys like Alexander and Roberson have already shown him this athletic ability and power on the high school/AAU level; I just don't see him getting there.
Towns has a ways to go in that regard. Nice that a 7 footer can dribble and shoot from outside, but I think he needs some 7 footer's attributes as well.
Any of this on TV at some point, or is it just Adidas nations that is televised from time to time? I figured Nike would want some of their tournaments getting a lot of national exposure
Nah no TV scheduled for the Nike stuff unfortunately. ESPNU is suppose to broadcast some games from the Orlando events next week and the Adidas Nations in August. Nike is really screwing up by not trying to get as much exposure as they can from these events whether on TV or the internet.
The Nike hoops summit probably?
I don't recall that but maybe I could be wrong. I know the FIBA International events offer streams on their website from time to time.
For some reason I take that as a very good sign.
GMac is basically new to the scene with this being his 2nd year as one of the main assistants. Obviously he isn't well connected like Hop or has the strong AAU ties like Red. He is a hard worker, who attends and evaluate at a lot of events. The more experience he gains, the more contacts and connections he'll eventually develop to help us land some studs. He's responsible for getting Buss Patterson last year and is currently the lead man for Derrick Jones. Jones is a great test for GMac to see if he can pull in a big fish as a recruiter already.
Red was at the Peach Jam all last week. He was suppose to be at the Global Challenge this week.
They aren't the only ones screwing up. Our basketball verbals seem to have hit the wall.:bat:
Red is at the Global Challenge today. Checked out Diallo, will watch the Canadians next, and McCullough/Newton/Briscoe later.
