Message: [QUOTE="44doubledees, post: 2157173, member: 315"] Didn't watch the whole game because All-Star games are very hard on my eyes, everybody just chucking up threes. Which brings me to Oshae, he was really the only one who did not ball hog and randomly chuck up 30 footers, which is refreshing for a player of the year. Really active around the rim and has some beef to actually bang a bit down there. Good quick hops and doesn't mind mixing it up from what I saw. Very capable putting it on the floor, brought the ball up a few times, albeit with little pressure but also attacked the rim nicely off the dribble multiple times and finished. His Bball IQ is also evident as he dished the ball nicely inside a few times to get people wide open dunks (again, the only guy doing this). Last but not least his shot, very good form, nice soft touch from deep. IMHO, could put some time in at the 4 but is destined to be a 3. I would compare him to Kris Joseph, albeit with a better outside shot and better handle at this stage, much higher ceiling. It is very evident that he seems to be just scratching the surface, really excited about this kid. Howard: Good handle, smooth operator, and surprising athletic, got to the rim when he wanted but again not a lot of D being played so hard to gauge that. He didn't really force it either, I would think because they have scholarships they didn't feel the need to impress, not sure. Shot didn't fall for him but a good stroke, obviously won the 3 pt comp so can shoot it. Also listed him at 6'3" and he did look to be a good sized guard. Gonna need a year or two in my opinion. Also Leo did the color on the game, and constantly talked up Cuse and the boys. Gushed about Oshae all game, compared him to Wiggins in skillset and physical nature but did concede he certainly was not at Wiggins level at this stage. Also compared Washington to Tyler Ennis but with a jump shot. Again high praise based more on style, but still a decent comparable. If Washington is at Ennis' level in year 3 I would be happy. VTech got a good one, and the kid going to Pitt certainly likes to shoot continuously lol. [/QUOTE]
