Seeing as he is a regular part of Monumental broadcasts, it would be hard to forget him.

Not a fan of bringing Gill back, we have enough vets on the team.

Who needs Cooper Flagg when you have Moscow basketball legend Anthony Gill.

Bilal has a move at the 0:43 mark where he looks way more athletic than everyone else on the court. Very impressive. He also has a vicious dunk at 5:40.

Sarr has a very nice Eurostep move at 1:30 and a good finish in traffic at 6:50.

If Bilal can get his creativity up when he drives, and also starts to get after it with that intensity consistently, I'm like why can't he be an all star.....
If he gets his 3ball tightened up, he's going to be a beast.....
He did have the most 20-5-5 games next to Wemby from his class before he got injured, so I'm like why can't he be a 2/3 with outside chance of #1 potential.....

Damn we have some highly talented persons in our scouting department....
It really feels good to know this, because I've spent my entire life watching the opposite, so this is like quenching a desert thirst....

I really thought when we missed on Wemby, and Amen, and all those talents before pick 7 came up, and we end up with Bilal.... Damn that was a helluva job, then this year we're screwed again, and we get 6th and they get Tre from that, and Riley is much more promising than I'd have expected with him being so skinny......
I'm excessively excited to watch our strategy play out.....

And to think I'd almost given up on basketball until we got these guys in here to change things...

That move at 6:50 is what I want to see, not just because he scored. Instead of shooting that fadeaway he faked it and got a layup. Granted there wasn't.much resistance but if there was and he missed he would have been in good position to get the rebound.

Can’t wait to see all the youth playing against grown ass NBA men, the Frenchies are abusing the C-Grade talent in these friendlies so-far.
