     Anyone else watch his game today on ESPN against Brewster Academy? This was the first time I saw a full game of him playing and all I have to say is WOW! The size, length, and athleticism he brings to the table is ridiculous. He had 7 blocks in the game and about 21 points without even showing that much offensive skill. The potential for this kid is crazy and he is only a junior.

     how was the opposition ?…. did he just outplay the other team thanks to his superior athlecism or length ?

    Brewster Academy puts is a post grad program that puts a ton of players in D-1 each year and Mitch McGarry is playing for them right now.

    I’ve seen him several times both in HS and on the summer circuit. He looked by far the most assertive I have ever seen and showed timing that is just insane. The past few times I saw him he was quick off his feet but picked up early fouls. Today he was great. He gave his man distance and then exploded for the block and his rotations from the weak side are absolutely the quickest I have seen from big maybe ever. His ability to use both hands on offense bode well for his future. His next step is to work on a 15-18 ft Jumper. His man simply backs off and gives him 5 feet of space. In summer he was trying that jumper and had awful results. He needs to retool it from the ground up… form, rotation, everything. He looks great, though. Can’t ask for much more from a 17 year old.

    the entire Brewster squad. Brewster won, but Noel absolutely dominated the interior. McGary looked out of his league against him (Noel is Junior, McGary is a post grad 19 year old).

     Yea, McGary was outmatched, he only had like 3 points although he did about about 12 rebounds. If Noel could hit a 15 footer it would be game over, he would be easily the #1 overall pick in the 2014 draft if he isn’t already.

    What college do you think he’ll end up at. It sounds like him and his teammate Goodluck both enjoyed their visits to Cuse, but Kentucky, UCONN, Duke, Kansas, and Pitt are all in on him, not to mention plenty of others. He’d be great as a shot blocker in the middle of the 2-3 zone, but we do have Melo, Keita, Coleman, and Christmas all potentially being around when Noel is a freshmen.

     

    Whoever ends up with him will be glad they did thats all I know.

     To be fair, everyone who rates these guys are no saying McGary is slightly overrated now on Twitter.

    Has the ugliest jumper I have ever seen, but it goes in somehow…I mean sometimes. Pushes the ball well and runs lanes well…looks like a defensive stopper in the making, too.

     Wayne Seldon is going to be an amazing player, he impressed me so much yesterday with the tempo he played the game at, he just seems to have a high IQ for only being so young.

    I don’t follow high school ball that closely, but I do know a little about him ( from last year) have a couple questions.

     Isn’t he really thin? Does he project as a guy that can put on muscle or a guy who has the ability to convert to a PF? Or is he a "raw" guy who is just a tall athlete who may just end up as a college shot blocker?

     I have played againist him, and Wayne Selden, and both of them are incredible.

    Noels timing is incredible. When I played against him, he blocked a kid’s floater that was 2 feet above the rim. The kid is going D-1. He cannot shot at all, and he gave him more than 5 feet to shoot, but he can handle the ball well for a bigman.

     kinda reminds me of Anthony Davis but a better athlete. The only thing is he’s a junior and by the time he’s in college should be better than Davis.
