Message: [QUOTE="Francis03, post: 1048476, member: 195"] Got a chance to check out the Govan vs Bryant/Diallo game. Tee touched on a lot of things already in which I agree with. Govan does have AO like skills in the post. Really good polished footwork in the paint and can score in a variety of ways. On the flip side, he's very slow getting up n down the court, barely has any lift and athleticism to his game. Due to the lack of lift he's basically just a big body out there defensively, as he's not much of a rebounder and shot blocker. He had better success scoring over Diallo than he did against Bryant. I think he made the right choice in choosing G-Town. The slower pace will benefit him and he'll get plenty of touches in their offensive system. Bryant was his typical self. Hustling up n down, rebounding, and protecting the paint whenever they didn't have him up top of the zone. The most impressive sequence from him that I like was with his team trailing late, he got a tip in bucket, knocked down some clutch FT's, and delivered a nice bounce pass on the break to Diallo to tie the game towards the end of regulation. As I've been saying it's all about the overall intangibles with this kid. He may not be great or dominant in one specific area, but he can do plenty of things on the checklist to help your team win. Tyus Battle had some nice plays in the 1st half knocking down some jumpers and getting to the line. He was kind of quiet in the 2nd half and I think it's more about him just blending in on a new AAU team and being contempt with being a role player and not trying to be a ball hog. I think next year when Bryant/Diallo and some of the other upperclassmen are gone that you'll see him takeover and put up the numbers that we saw from him in the HS season. This is nothing new but Diallo will be a very good get for somebody(hopefully not UK). He's not great at creating offense for himself but he always finds ways to be in perfect position around the hoop to score. Like Bryant, his motor is great and he's always flying up n down the court making big plays on each end. [/QUOTE]
