I wasn’t drawing conclusions from a ASG. I was commenting on his performance in the ASG. if I said, “we are screwed and the kid will never play D”, then I get it. But he played very little D last night and less so than everyone else. That was an observation.
There are things you can take away from last night performance in that there is a reason why Wallace is ranked above him. Wallace seemed to be more in control and had a better shot. But I came away thinking Morris might have more potential. George seemed sloppy. I have seen him too many times to think it was indicative of his potential.
Other notes:
As noted by the announcers, talent was not close to equal to last year. But there is a lot of very good basketball players. If these kids were staying two or three years, I’d have a different viewpoint of this class. But these guys are not physically ready for the NBA unless they completely change their bodies
Duke has some really good players coming in but they need some guys to stay if they want to be back at FF. They were the class of the game.
Mitchell was difficult to get a read on. He was out of sync and was looking for dunks all night. Kid jumps out of the building but didn’t really have any desire to do anything else. He has played completely differently at Montverde. This weekend’s tournament will get us a good look at that.
