I'm going again on Tuesday. Since you live in St George and all during the off season, why don't you wander an 1 1/2 down south and check out some games for yourself? Hell, we could even grab some coffee and you could fill me in with more of your supremely wonderful stories of being an "insider".

I have gone to several of the summer league games in LV, but I've got family visiting all month this month. Even if I didn't I'm not sure I'd go. On a scale of 1 - 10, how competitive are the scrimmages? And, again, my insider stuff is 99% limited to UK bb with the other 1% coming as peripheral information from that program. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but can slam a few brews (as a warm up).

The addidas super 64 is far more competitive than these scrimmages. They are very entertaining though, somewhat like an All-Star game as I mentioned previously. I bounced out of work early a whim with some guys I work with. I'll bring my camera to the next game.

Sorry if you already mentioned, but did you catch Shabazz?
 
I did. He was awesome. I did a whole write up in the general section. I also saw alot of drummond who was just sick and I posted some vid in those threads. Drummonds handles are really what sets him apart from any big I have seen in the past 10...well maybe ever. In another thread I have seen the debate on his motor which really is is only limitation which I hope he can improve on. It would be a complete waste otherwise. We are pretty lucky in Vegas to have Findlay Prep as well a Gorman. I have seen some great amateur games the past few years. Shabazz though is unreal, the best SG prospect since Kobe IMO. I think he goes to KY, coach Cal was drooling at the super 64.

Cool and thanks. I'll go look for your write up in General (I never go there). Agree on Drummond, he'll be great regardless, but hope he gives his all so we can see what he can do.

We played Ben Gorman our senior year in high school and I dunked on CJ Watson's ***. Very nice.

He’s able to add muscle weight and work on his mid-range game after waking up, then test his mettle against some of the NBA’s premier young athletes during a period when pro coaches are barred from contacting players.

Similar praise was shined upon Evans. Abunassar was barely familiar with the Jazz forward before the IBL began. Three days later, Evans’ reach, wingspan and ability to soar through the air have made a major impression.

“His athleticism is something you don’t see,” Abunassar said. “I’ve been doing this for 15 years. It’s very unique.”

Fun little article.

Evan's played yesterday. Couldn't find any stats. But you can see him at 1:06 mark of the linked video.

Unfortunately, the stats on impact basketball's website are garbage. A bunch of dudes in those highlights aren't listed as having played at all (Evans included).

His first dunk there is fantastic. Dude can sky even when flat footed. Hopefully he's added more this offseason.
 
Ok that put back with the foul was just sick. If that dosen't get you out of you seat you don't have a pulse.
