MCW, and Syracuse in general, had a really rough game. Props to Temple.

A few thoughts on MCW after watching today's game:

-doesn't seem to have a great touch around the hoop, ala Hayward.
-gets to the FT line well (wtf was up with his shot today?)
-his 3PT% is bad, but his form seems fine. It's not like some guys where you cringe whenever they pull up for a jumper.
-as impressive as his 10.7 APG average is, I think it's even more impressive when you consider the fact that Syracuse has zero 3-point shooters.

I don't like him for his shooting, but if he's a legit distributor with his size, he's intriguing.
 
Harrow starting to show promise. Today;

23pts
4rbs
4asts
3stls
1to

handled the ball well, got to the rim and finished or went to the line. I don't love the guy, but obviously glad to see him getting better.

Noel with 11pts, 10rbs, 2stls, 2blks
Goodwin with a somewhat bad game, overall .. 19pts, I think..

Shabazz put up big numbers. How did he look?

Yeah, 27 points and 7 rebounds.

The first thing that jumped out to me is that he's slimmed down a bit and doesn't seem so clunky while running. The announcers said he's reportedly lost 13 pounds in the past few weeks.

Shabazz definitely showed off an arsenal of moves. Mainly post up opportunities, but he had a catch and shoot 3, a pull up jumper, and a few plays in the fast break. Oh, and he got to the FT line, of course. It's kinda bizarre how good his post up game is; he's a freshman SG for crying out loud. I actually have to wonder if he relies on his post game too much. I'm not sure how well that will work out for him in the NBA. I'd like to see him get more opportunities to create his own shot from the perimeter.

The other main thing that deserves a mention is his motor. The dude is just relentless on the offensive boards (I think at least 5 of his 7 rebounds were offensive). He really seems to go non stop. Dude wants to win.

Let me clarify (for you, or whoever): Don't you think he could go top-10? Young, athletic 6-5 true PG producing at a winning, major program?

Undoubtedly he could .. I just don't think he does. I was just posting my best guess, if you will.

This is pretty much the book on 'Bazz. High motor, killer instinct, great on the boards .. and scores mostly close to the basket. He can shoot, but he has to get more comfortable in the midrange. It's always been speculated that he'll have a little trouble transitioning at each level because in HS he simply out muscled everyone he played against.
