How we blew that fast break, I'll never know.

please explain, I missed it.

As Jefferson was walking to the bench it looked like one of the coaches told him he was in to start the 4th and he stopped and looked up at the ceiling like someone told him his life was ending - not sulking but he was clearly gassed. I just found that whole thing funny - even funnier than his reaction when he finally did go to the bench with 9 minutes to go in the 4th.

Gaines cant run a fast break to save his life.

Evans is an exciting player. He needs a mid-range game though.

Thompson is making a good case too.

Gaines cant run a fast break to save his life.

The Jazz had two players out in front. Easy play.

Evans is the Human Highlight Film.

Gaines and Jeffers seem like the clear cuts to me. Gaines isnt the defender Price or Watson are, and he doesnt have the natural PG skills of Watson or the knowledge of the offense like Price. Jeffers is a good hustle guy, but lets face the facts, he is a 6-3 SG who cant shoot.

I think we as fans were always waiting for him to have that breakout year, but he never did. I really think it was a lack of coaching and being played out of position. He also had to play without a true PG for all 4 years (he did finally play with a pretty good PG his junior year, but even he was more of a scorer than distributor). In short, WKU was never looking to get him involved and just settled for him being a great shot blocker, good rebounder, and great dunker. I didn't think he would be this good, this fast.

As far as being the best athlete, he is probably at the top of that list. He would get a good run from Elgrace Wilborn (a recent player who now plays for the Globtrotters), but I think Jeremy is more of a complete athlete, where Elgrace was just a dunker.

The kid has so much ability. He's the best athlete on the entire floor tonight, and I'd bet he's in the top 5% in the entire NBA. He also knows how to play 5 on 5. But he can't create his own shot obviously which he should have been taught. Thank god he wasn't. He's going to be a player in this league.
