Nike Hoop Summit?
Who else would be a better comparison, no offensive game outside under the basket, lives off of hustling, and is very strong and tough. Add in the fact that he is athletic and blocks shots and there you go.
The Ibaka comparison is way off, he is much larger in Ibaka in size, has nowhere near the offensive game, and is stronger.
What i say about Gilchrist..he's a baller. scouts, regular people keep doubting him because he's been on top for so long but he always produces.
I'm not sure which African is which half the time but i know they control the pain like mad men with either block or making guys think twice about shooting in the paint by adjusting there shot. This game is always wayyyy better than the McDonalds All American game because its more organized and there's defense. you have to play a real game not street ball
Biyambo is a monster, enough hate on this kid. He is so athletic at just 18 or 19. He ha sthe body of Brandon Bass out thier, with Hassan Whiteside's length, and Tyrus Thomas athletisism. But wait theres more, he hustles like Regie Evans and plays to his strentghs, defense. No offensive game unless a teamate sets him up for a dunk or layup, although I weill say he has good footwork, and soft hands so the potentials there.
Yeah it is. He looks just like he did when i saw him in Vegas before his injury. e actually looks faster if you can believe it.
I like how Davis goes after rebounds and blocks even though he's not really that athletic as far as jumping. If h was a point guard before he grew he must have been the type that never dribbled because he has zero confidence as far as handling the ball
Who impressed you guys in this game and who disappointed you
IMO
Rivers, Gilchrist, Wroten really stepped on Team USA and on the World Team Bismark Biyango was a man among boys in this game, Fournier on France has a nice game and that Polish guy was a good player.
Biyambo is extremely aggressive as far as tryna bang the ball. I'd take him first round. Not lotto but if I'm a playoff team that has time to develop him I'd take him. He has a triple double (not counting the blk where he fouled the guy but the blk before that where the announcers were talking and seemed to miss)
Austin Rivers shows why he's a beast in a real game
Gilchirst is a beast as a offensive player and defender
Davis has potential and is good in the open court. Not the best H.S Player in the nation though and needs to work on his strength and post moves
Teauge is so damn quick and blows bu who ever
Wroton has Pro court vision
Beal still reminds me of Eric Gordan
MacaDoo will make a good first option off the bench for Carolina
I'm gonna hate Duke even more Because Cook is very good
Kentucky and Duke Clearly has the best players in this game by a mile and Kentucky has the best group easily
Biyombo was very impressive. As I mentioned BEFORE the game, he would be a lottery pick this year. This year draft is so weak that if I am a GM, I would probably gamble a late lottery pick on him and let him develop in ACB for a year or two.
Kevin Pangos was horrible tonight. Wiltjer was selfish and chucking and missing shots left and right. The two were probably the biggest reasons why team world was killed so badly in the first half. Seriously disappointed at both Canadians. Maybe they really should have picked Myck Kabongo and Khem Birch instead. Kabongo would be able to match the US guards in speed while Birch can fight in the post better than Wiltjer.
Nogueira is long, but he got push around too much. Whenever, Biyombo is off the floor, team USA has a field trip in the post.
Guo Ailun was too passive. Neto and Saric was ok. Ponitka was the best guard for the world tonight. Fournier and Bertans played well. Karnowski was too slow.

It starts at 10:00 right? Does anybody have a link to the game, or does anybody know what channel it's on on Verizon FIOS?
