I haven't watched any tape of Flory. Kemp hit a big growth spurt at about 6th or 7th grade and it took some time for his coordination to catch up, but once it did, he was incredibly athletic for his size. He definitely was an above the rim player at Concord.
Maybe Daimon Bethea?Who else, Lenny? - full transparency now in light of the holidays.
Sorry--misread your post. Thought you were talking about Austin and Kemp. Reading skills fading in advancing years.
YES!!! I wanted to say it was by CC but just couldn't get my arms around that being true.
Rough, how do you mean? I went to HS with Shawn, two years younger so was on freshman/JV team at the time. Saw every single game. Shawn would lead fast breaks, get yelled at for throwing behind the back passes etc. Shawn would pull up and fire 25-footers lol to which Coach Hahn (RIP) would immediately rip him and yell you’re a foot taller than everyone else. Wtf are you doing go to the block. Shawn would fire again and Coach would just smile at him with his hands raised up. He had this thing where he wanted to prove he could hit 16-20 footers. Regularly shot several every game. And made a decent amount.
Flory has improved his skill...still needs work, but he has improved and has played so little basketball
Yeah I have no doubt he will improve rapidly. Kid has tons of potential. I haven’t seen him play since the Westfield game. No kidding, it seemed like the kid got every single rebound. He was in foul trouble too. Don’t remember exactly but he was something like 3-10 from the free throw line. His shot was what I’d describe as rough, it wasn’t pretty. But as I said, I have no doubt he’ll improve skill wise quite rapidly.
Trayce Jackson-Davis made a career out of not having anything outside of 5 feet.
Not really sure what that has to do with the comparison between Shawn and Flory as juniors in HS which is the post I directly responded to?
You mean the 1 and done kid playing for IU? Might come back next year as well, could be the first 1 and done 5 year player in the history of college basketball! Seriously, I heard he’s making 1 million+ this season, he very well could use the Covid year and try to have another great payday. Make Race could petition the NCAA and get a 7th season?
He had 25 at half. Put on a show first half. Needs to tighten up his ball handling a bit, but has a lot of potential . Doesn’t show any physical maturity and is already a really good athlete. Never had a good game this morning in particular but you can see he has a very high ceiling. A bit surprised since he is supposed to be a good shooter that he shoots a bit over his left eye instead of his right.
He was 1 point shy of a 40 burger and you’re making it seem like he is a hobo who got luck to make a bucket. Gonna start calling you Debbie because you’re such a downer. (TIC)
He was 3 of 4 from 3 in the first half. Pretty impressive. He looks just as tall as Bidunga.
He missed a wide open dunk on a breakaway that he threw down with some force that popped out or he would have had 41 😊. Course he did make a few circus shots. He had everyone around me shaking their heads at some of the shots he made…and he has growth and strength he will gain.
I don’t follow high school basketball enough but would it be possible for him to win Mr Basketball as a Junior? Does Brownsburg have to make it to state and/or win it for that to happen?
No he will be in the lead his senior year. Brownsburg in a very limited showing of 2 games seems to be well coached. I was on the north baseline and Catchings was at the other end and I’m guessing maybe 18 feet out and the D comes and Catchings double pumps and hits it and gets fouled.
Unless they changed the rule, you have to be a senior to win it.
That, was what my impression with Catching.
Benter will amaze!!! Ok @Wolegib ... I went out on a limb!!! Similar to my support of Brayden through the summer and my comment a few days ago that TKR would astound in the upcoming game ... what the fk say you? --= SORRY TK, but I can't miss this opp to assert myself!
I was told he is much better than most realize
There is a special IU Star waiver for juniors that declare for IU.
I read some reports and obviously must be good for Purdue to have offered him over two seasons before he enrolled, but his AAU coach might have more insight. 😁
