Thanks for the info. I hope he takes it a step further and invite the sophomores for a game next.

I watched this last night. I was surprised by some of the guys who actually showed up including Kenneth F, Bismack Byombo (spelling?), Singleton, and many more.
 
Well, Nolan Smith looked pretty good, but everyone's numbers were super inflated due to all-star like game. It was fun to watch. I think that Kenneth Farried guy will be a beast in the NBA.

Not surprised about Nolan Smith. Faried is still interesting to me .. I've never been a believer he'll amount to much in the big league. I watch all the top recruits starting around their junior year of high school. Always interesting watching them grow and transition from level to level.

Pedo much?

Yeah, Faried reminds me a lot of Nene. I think he'll fit in great in Denver, not to mention that half of their team will be playing in China when the lockout ends, he'll contribute sooner rather than later if the season can be salvaged.
 
Biyombo didn't look good at all. Faried was a BEAST. Has no offense besides a dunk though, and he tried everything (3 pointers included). His dunks were amazing though, of course was a monster on the boards, and had some very impressive blocks. Kawhi looked good, still doesn't look like he has developed an outside game. Jimmer didn't look too good, Kemba crossed him up probably 10 times too.
 
i'm sure many of you saw it on tv, but i was at the game, and i'll try to write a post here based off the top of my head.

jimmer - looked more fit, hit some deep threes. his ballhandling is better, but he was double or triple teamed on a lot of plays. he had a few good back and forth moments with walker. his moves to the basket with his patented college scoop shot DO NOT work anymore like they used to. he got blocked a few times. you can see that he's adjusting his game though. instead of driving and keeping the ball, i saw a lot more drive n dish, which was kinda fun.

faried - horrible shooter. no offense other than hustle and put backs. great rebounder, blah blah blah.

singleton - some hustle, but he also looked like he was goofing around a lot. his outside shot was terrible. i don't know if he was having an off night, or just goofing off. he was also a huge ballhog.

malcom lee - surprisingly fast, gritty defender. attacked the basket. had a good night

isiah thomas - really fast. really small. tried to run a few plays. looked like a leader. he looked really competitive against jimmer

biyombo - looked like a bull in a china shop. he's going to foul a LOT in the NBA. he had a handful of blocks and looked pretty strong physically. he hit his free throws, which surprised me cuz i heard he couldn't shoot. he had no real offensive game other than some putbacks.

leonard - still needs to work on his jumper. he was all over the place getting his hands in passing lanes, going for rebounds. he's got to develop more but could be a pretty decent player.

nolan smith - i swear he was a huge ballhog, but ended up with a lot of assists. he had a smooth jumper and ran the floor well.

honeycutt - not much about his game stood out to me. he seemed like he had a good motor and hustled. he had a nice reverse layup at one point. seemed pretty athletic.

tobias harris - was probably the best athlete. he ran the floor, had a nice jumper, and seemed to be a gritty defender (as much as you could be in this game) he had a good all-around game.

kemba - seemed to be really cocky, flashy. he was fast and i love that jab step and crossover move of his. he was able to get to the rim and he looked like he was having a lot of fun. i think he'll be a nice pg for charlotte.
 
Rumor has it all the players tried to go out in Provo that night to party after the game only to be bored out of their minds and couldn't find anything to do.

They should of gotten a milkshake or a frozen yogurt.
 
This was a giant waste of 20 bucks. Damn my friend for talking me into going and not telling me BYU was milking Jimmer for every penny before he is gone for good.
