Look out for updates on Lydon, Diagne, Bryant, Battle, Murray and others.

Malachi now uses his left hand to dribble and penetrate in the lane. And lesson learned if you've been watching?
Yes. He drew the foul again.

And that was my 10,000th post.


I'm just going to leave it at that for now. Malachi hits 1 of 2 and ends up 8 of 9 from the line. He's already done most of his damage to poor, poor NY Lightning. You know what they say. You mess with the Malachi. You get the horns. Every single time.

Yall can check out updates for the day in the link above.


Thanks for the game updates Tee. Love how Malachi is rounding out his game now by being more aggressive attacking the rim. His 3pt shooting numbers haven't been great overall so far in EYBL play, but his free throw numbers have been really good. He's averaging about 8 free throw attempts per game.

Yup. He's still working hard and love the versatility in getting his shots. It's what Southerland should have been striving for. I see some similarities in the two, but what could separate Richardson is his continued improvement putting the ball on the floor. He has a good enough handle and does well shielding by using his body against guards. And now, we see more of the finishing ability. If he doesn't convert, he's drawing contact often.

Diagne has 8 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal as the NJ Playaz coast. This one was the Briscoe show. Dropped 27 points on 7 for 11, 6 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals. Myles Powell had 15 on an efficient 5/6.

Again, as Francis mentioned, Diagne is not the focal point. A lot of gunners on this team and Briscoe being the focal point is well deserved. He demands attention. Knows how to score, and will clean up on dimes as the doubles come. Like Malachi, another guy that gets to the line with his physicality. 12 for 13 free throws.

 

[tee1222]

Tyler Lydon back in action today. Looks like the injury was minor.
14 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block. Great well rounded line, especially nice to see the passing.
Franklin Howard played 3 minutes. Had a three pointer, assist and rebound.

Jamal Murray had 13 points and 5 rebounds in a CIA Bounce win.

He knocked down a 40 footer for the win. His boy Tyler must have taught him that.

Good stuff tee...appreciate it

Francis, think we have a better shot with Murray than Battle? Battle gets more hype but Murray may turn out to be better. Love his game.

Murray's a gamer, agree. I might have to watch his replay. Still curious about Lydon's game. Rebounded like a champ after sitting out the last game. Very curious.
Edit: Neither game is replayed. Not so curious.

Live now, NJ Playaz.

The Mini Moose Man, Diagne on the tip. #44.

 

[tee1222]

Diagne has some bulk to him. 6'7 or 6'8 if I guess. He and Juiston anchor NJ's "3-2 looking" zone defense right now.

 

[tee1222]

This is where I tell you AAU ball can be frustrating to watch. All one on one ball right now. Briscoe did have a few moments, but the bigs don't always get the ball. Not a lot of shots going in, might skip this one for now.

 

[tee1222]

Diagne, had 4 points, on 2 for 2, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks. Briscoe, Powell and Gibbs, all guards, did the majority of the scoring.
http://www.d1circuit.com/game/show/7065029
Still looks like a solid effort for Diagne.

 

[tee1222]

I found both of Diagne's field goals. Second one is a dunk, but watch the first one. Off hand hook shot. I am pretty sure he's a righty, lefty and middy. Scary how he uses both hands. Pretty sure I've seen him take mid range shots with both hands. I'm not kidding, but still. Take that Rothstein. They butchered his name in the link, but shhhh. Don't tell anyone. It's not worth it.

Next one, easy flush from Briscoe

Battle has the higher upside imo but Murray is a better shooter and a more likely commit if we push hard for him.

 

[tee1222]

In Team Final's other game and 66-58 win,
Richardson busts 26 points. A few details:

• 5 out of 6 three pointers.
• 7 out of 8 free throws. Again, getting it done outside in.
• He had 10 rebounds to go with it.
• All in all, shot a cool 70% from the field.

The force is very strong with this one.

 

[tee1222]

Howard did not play the afternoon game.
http://www.d1circuit.com/game/show/7065035

Coming back from injury and getting spot minutes to ease him in slowly, I wouldn't look too deep into this one.

 

[tee1222]

Jamal Murray in action in a few minutes
http://www.highschoolcube.com/event/each-1-teach-1-vs-cia-bounce-eybl-session-3-court--352219
Probably not going to watch these Sunday games. Birthday parties own our weekends. If I see one more slice of ice cream cake...

Murray is #33 for those watching.

 

[tee1222]

Team Final had a rough outing this morning, losing 70-39.
http://www.d1circuit.com/game/show/7065041
Malachi had 4 points on 1 for 8 shooting.
Donte Divincenzo was 0 for 7.
Alston who takes a lot of shots was 1 for 9.
Lowe (bench spark) was 3 for 11.
Tough day but it's going to happen.

 

[tee1222]

Murray, long rebound, controls it. Looks up, pushes the tempo and creates an easy transition bucket for his teammate. Good looking handle, comfortable with either hand and looks completely confident bringing the ball up. Nice size for a point guard, but I imagine he'll be interchangeable, playing alongside either position in the back court.

CIA Bounce is up 23-13 with about 4 minutes left in the half.

 

[tee1222]

Murray just spotted up, buried a three. Nice and patient. Definitely a heady player like Ennis. No wasted effort, just does what he's supposed to do. That's not to say I don't think he's a decent athlete. Some players are just smooth.
