Ben Handlogten missed a game for us against Boston almost 19 years ago (Dec 17, 2003) for the birth of this same son.

Marshall 9-1 too. Actually pretty impressive considering (from what I can tell off Google) that he wasnt even ranked by any of the recruiting services.

Donovan Clingan is the next giant up though (besides Victor of course). Actually looks pretty fluid and is a freaking giant. Getting absurd stats in 15 MPG.

Someone to keep an eye on. Was a top 60 recruit who decided to go to UCF. Having a great freshman season.

Kaluma finally had a good game. Has played himself out of the first round thus far, but still has nice athleticism/size.

yeah, clingan is a monster. somewhere in between kalkbrenner and Edey. and for marshall, taevion kinsey could be an interesting 2nd round prospect. old af, but has been a good college player for a long time and having a great 5th year.

I could see Edey being the next Boban. Think he's too big/bulky/lumbering to be a real difference maker in the NBA though. Clingan seems like he could be in that sweet spot of being a giant, but not being too bulky.

GG is looking better by the game it seems.

Brandon Miller had a rough go against Houston, but he hung in there and iced the game at the end by hitting all his FTs.

The thing that impressed me is that he takes the ball off the rim, pushes the ball hard and outruns nearly the whole Presbyterian team while handling. That's the kind of aggressiveness and confidence at 6'9" that could make him an impact player. It shows he has real confidence handling the ball.

He also covered the entire floor in 5 dribbles and gathered the ball at the top of the key before getting fouled on the finish.

agreed. just not sure edey can get up and down the floor. he'd be tough to stop in the post for very short stretches and he'll rebound while he's in there, but like you say, similar to boban, maybe a 10-15 minute per game guy at the most. he'll dominate fools in the g league though.

The shot looks solid but he doesn’t look to shoot as much as he could. He has a weird gait that makes me question him as an athlete a bit. Could be a gem in the late first if his stock stays where it is.
