Didn’t pay as much attention to Washington, but here are my quick (and probably biased) notes.
Isaiah Thomas
Very strong point guard, and does remind me of the real Isiah at least in terms of the way he attacks the basket. I love aggressive point guard play, and off the dribble he was unstoppable much of the game. Cal really doesn’t have anyone who can guard him—their point guards are too small and their big men aren’t quick enough.
It’s going to be interesting when the Bears face good point guards down the road and how they deal with him; my thoughts are zone-zone-zone. Of course, I don’t know what the hell he was doing reaching in on Seeley on that final shot.
Jon Brockman
Another big awkward white dude. Of course he has that hustle and rebounding that most journalists drool over in college, but has too much Hansbrough in him (and even Tyler can make his free throws). A good 11th man on an NBA team before people realize he’s kind of useless.
Justin Dentmon
Made some absurd shots. Also works well off the ball and had some good rebounds off his own shot (Randle was switched onto him after Gutierrez took over defensive responsibilities). The senior dominated the second and third overtimes and nearly took them home. Got Randle fouled out too drawing the charge.
Venoy Overton
Great penetrator to the inside.
Justin Holliday
Nice block.
Quincy Pondexter
Lives up to his name. Did a lot of quizzical things in this one (not closing out on his man, not finishing his shot, travelling trying to turn around in the paint, etc.).
Matthew Bryan-Amaning
Like every Euro player, can’t believe he’s ever committed a foul in his life.
