Sorry, I ain't going to get carried away by the kid's stats in Iowa high school games. Simply does not translate to BoneG-level competition.

I took this last week.
Does he get around much on the AAU scene? Isn't that where the rankings usually come from?
Yeah, how you play in Iowa doesn't translate at all to the High Major Basketball.

The kid looks explosive toward the rim in the video. It was good to see him show some defensive ability in one of the videos. If he doesn't play defense he will find the bench to a familair spot. However I think he will be fine. He will have a tough time finding minutes to play with Oglesby already on the team. Oglesby as we all know is one of the best shooters Fran has ever seen.

Hyperbole. Kid has a slow release. Good shooter, not great.
- people who say he doesn't play defense or doesn't seem interested on the defensive side of the ball but yet they have only seen highlight from youtube or the tv are just a joke. Not many highlight vids are of people on defense. Also, did you not see him in the latest video get back and block a kids lay-up?
- The only critique I have about his game from watching the latest Mixtape is that I wish he would dunk the ball when he is right at the rim instead of just laying it in. Those lay ins won't work as much in the college game. Just ask Woodbury.

Even though I made that comment with tongue in cheek I do hope he comes around and relaxes and starts doing during game situations what I have heard he does in practices, meaning the kid hardly misses in practice.

Congrats, CAAAAAR, you completely missed my point. Go back to calculating kurt's success/fail cycles.
in fridays game both teams got to the ft line over 35 yimes with Valley shooting 41, 12 alone by Jok
for a team to shoot that many FT's in one game and then turn around the next and only shoot 12, makes me curious, escpecially in a close game
This could be ridiculous comparison, but they are related...his shot (form) looks like his cousin (L. Deng). He does not need a lot of separation to get it off, since he is tall and long-armed, but he also has a high and quick release. My only concern is that he goes to the floor easily and awkwardly often when he drives. Suggests some concern about his legs. The kid has obviously lived in the gym/weight room. Cannot question his work ethic to get back to this level.

can you see Jok replacing Marble someday? Is the 3 his most natural spot?

True, but that was not the case last night. Blue Valley did not attack the basket that much. Some of the calls were just incredible. The refs were clearly over matched. You could not fight over top of a screen without committing a foul. There were two awful charge calls on Jok in the 4th quarter that completely changed the game. Both times the player was virtually under the basket. They have the arch on the floor at Wells Fargo and each time the player was literally 3 feet inside the arch when contact was made well after Jok released the ball. Neither time was it square contact as Pete had slid to the side in the air to avoid contact.

Right now, he adds a lot as a two...remains to be seen if he will get his legs back to be a good three.
He also could be 6' 10" by the time he gets here
The arch means absolutely nothing in hs basketball. And it doesn't need to be square contact for a charge. Though I like your feedback more than someone who wasn't there and is just comparing the numbers from the box score. Thanks for the input.

I was going to say she is an idgit for the KF win/loss signature about a year ago, but I just let it ride.
