Still No Markelle Fultz As Huskies Begin Pac-12 Tournament In Las Vegas

... past nine games. But mostly, they need to defend better than they have throughout almost all of this season (particularly as it pertains to USC guard Jordan Mc Laughlin and the pick-and-roll), and shoot the ball – and avoid giving it to the other team – better than they have throughout almost all of Pac-12 play. “We need to be able to finish these games,” Dickerson said, “and be the last team to have the last run.”. And make sure this isn’t their last game. Huskies gameday. WASHINGTON (9-21, 2-16 Pac-12) VS. USC (23-8, 10-8). 8:30 p.m., T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas. TV: Pac-12 Networks. Radio: 1000-AM, 97.7-FM.

Markelle Fultz And Dennis Smith Jr

... Head coach Mark Gottfried was essentially dismissed from the program midseason, but then successfully talked his way back into the position to finish out the remainder of the season as the Wolfpack’s coach. All things considered, Smith Jr. had a pretty superb freshmen season in the ACC overcoming a lot of chaos that fell out of his control. Smith Jr. finished Top-5 in the ACC in free-throws made, free-throws attempted, assists (1 st), assist % (1 st), steals, steal %, points, points produced (1 st), and offensive +/-. My biggest problem with Smith Jr. is his inconsistency. I think he arguably has some of the best game films out of all the top prospects in this year’s draft (four 30+ point efforts this season, four 10+ assist games as well). His two performances @Duke (32 points and 6 assists, four three-pointers) and vs. Miami (31 points, 9 assists, five treys) were incredible. I just seemed to catch Smith Jr. having subpar ...

Markelle Fultz Of Washington

... the plan and Fultz is envisioned as someone who can keep options open. Boston, for example, wouldn’t need to make a choice between Isaiah Thomas or Fultz. They should be able to just play together. Offensively, Fultz is already there. He’s shown no problems playing without monopolizing possession of the ball. If anything, he’s shown a natural inclination towards being a ball mover. And he is a good catch-and-shoot three-point shooter. But Fultz is not there yet defensively. In order to make these lineups with two point guards work, he will probably be the one guarding opposing wings and while he has good enough height and the length for it, Fultz probably lacks the strength [2] and toughness to do it frequently at this point. He’s expected to bulk up eventually, though. And that ...

Is Lonzo Ball The No. 1 Pick

... superstars. What Philly needs now is someone who can fill in the cracks and have a positive impact on the game without needing the ball in his hands. Isaac is a great fit in that regard.

Despite Rough Season In Washington, Markelle Fultz Still Stands As The Best Draft Prospect

... half-court. Within that area, Fultz seems at peace as he can decide whether to make a precise pass while he’s at the perimeter or work in drive-and-kick situations. When it comes to working on the perimeter, Fultz does a nice job of quickly locating an open teammate and then throwing a perfect pass. That same process is apparent when Fultz is working in the drive-and-dish as he can make a precise feed to a player when he’s cutting to the paint, whether that teammate is also driving to the paint or working on the perimeter. An example of Fultz’ knack as a drive-and-dish facilitator is seen in the play below. While Fultz is able to impress as a facilitator, there’s one trait where he can just be awe-inspiring: on-ball cutting. At first, it might be way too much to be in awe of a player’s ability as a ...

Will Knicks Get Shot At Markelle Fultz, Josh Jackson

... the Knicks have an opportunity to select a true floor general of a point guard for the future. It makes Kentucky’s De’Aaron Fox, NC State’s Dennis Smith Jr. and France’s Frank Ntilikina prime candidates assuming UCLA’s Lonzo Ball and Washington’s Markelle Fultz will be off the board by then. However, an NBA source told Marc Berman of the New York Post on Monday that the Knicks could take a chance on Kansas combo forward Josh Jackson. The 6-foot-8 inch talent has not exhibited a pure scorer’s touch, but he has displayed above-average vision and stingy on-ball defense, which is something the Knicks are in need of. His selection would make even more sense if the franchise found a way to move Anthony over the summer, but it could make re-signing Rose a priority to keep the backcourt afloat. Regardless, the Knicks have an opportunity to recreate their 2015 draft success when they selected a gem in Porzingis with the No. 4 overall pick. With big-money veterans looking as though they will be phased out, Madison Square Garden could be ...

Lavar Ball Now Has Markelle Fultz In His Sights

... play Division I basketball,” Morrow said in a statement. “It is hard to leave home, and Nebraska is my home. I was born and raised here, it is my parents’ alma mater, and I have a lot of friends here. But sometimes you have to venture out to pursue dreams and aspirations in a career. This is a sacrifice I have to make to better myself.”. Morrow’s transfer comes a year after Andrew White surprised Nebraska with his decision to graduate and transfer to Syracuse, which no doubt impacted the Huskers’ poor 2016-17 record. Miles was on the hot seat at the end of last season and will assuredly begin this season there as well. A roster hit like Morrow won’t do much to help him improve the situation. Nebraska does, however, have three starters returning while Georgetown transfer Isaac Copeland is eligible, as is Miami (Fla.) transfer ...

Huge Mistake!!’ Huskies Community Reacts To Lorenzo Romar’s Firing

... Wednesday afternoon, players and recruits responded in support of the longtime coach. Perhaps the strongest rebuke was from former UW forward Quincy Pondexter, an All-Pac-10 performer in 2009-10, who tweeted that Romar’s firing is a “huge mistake!”. Included among them were consensus top recruit Michael Porter Jr., and his brother Jontay. The two Nathan Hale High School stars had committed to play at UW for Michael Porter Jr.’s godfather, Romar, and their father, an assistant coach for the team. The brothers, winners of the 3 A state boys basketball title at the Tacoma Dome two weeks ago, were both wistful in their remarks on Twitter.
