Well Hummel was basically a 6-8 guard playing forward. Those skills there made him unique up front on both sides of the ball.
At 6-4 I would hope, a 2 guard, Carmondy, has similar skills (and even better) as Hummel.....as a 2 that is expected. Unexpected in Hummel up front to have those skills....that was his immense value.
Yep, my sentiments to the "t". I want him to be a Boiler even more now. Some of our best players over the years have had a swagger to them. That drive and competitiveness needs some discipline but that's manageable in most instances. He has always been a gentleman and polite on twitter with me.
Agree. Grayson Allen's issues stem from the fact that Coach K allowed it to continue. When he did 'punish' him with his indefinite suspension...it was only 1 game. I pretty much lost all amounts of respect for Coach K after this past season.
Well kudos to Grayson for showing such tenacity to complete an indefinitely suspension in a single game. That shows heart and grit.
Some highlights from the gauntlet. He sure can score. Would like to see how he defends though.
He's supposed to be a helluva defender,according to the scouting reports I've seen.
I watched his highlight reel on on of the recruiting sites and he had some impressive off ball steals, which would be a great skill to translate to the next level. Highlight reels can be deceiving but there seems a real possibility that this kid may be underrated. Hard nosed defender, dunks easily, confidant from 3 point range, and finishes at the rim in a variety of ways while being fouled heavily.
I saw one clip where he dove to save a ball from going out of bounds...in an AAU game. Heart definitely doesn't seem like an issue with this kid.
On the negative side, the same video had a clip where he goes down hard, jumps up, and the coach grabs him around the waist before he even turns toward the other guy. That kind of leads me to believe that some of the concerns with his temper might not be rumors (I haven't seen the "unsportsmanlike" videos).
I like Carmody, but stop with Hummel comparison. The reason he was so great was BECAUSE he was doing what he was doing when he was 6'7". Carmody will be good, but he won't be Hummel 2.0 which is fine with me.
