I can’t wait to see UNC vs Duke.

I’d imagine Little is going to have his hands full when it’s 3 Elite recruits versus 1.

But scouts are going to be licking their chops when they get to watch the potential Top 4 picks in one game.

Those games are going to be dogfights!

Lots of good matchups and obviously Duke’s collective talent is second to none, I think UNC’s depth could be the difference maker. If Kenny Williams (who is an NBA level defender and shooter, but nothing else is NBA level) and Nassir Little can slow down Zion and RJ, and make Reddish beat them alone, I like UNC’s chances in 2 out of 3 games. In addition, Cam Johnson just had a surgery that should loosen up his hips, he has the size and similar athleticism to keep up with Reddish.

PG White Fr. vs Jones Fr.
SG Williams Sr. vs. Barrett Fr.
SF Johnson Sr. vs. Reddish Fr.
PF Little Fr. vs. Zion Fr.
C Maye Sr. vs. Bolden Jr.

Watch on YouTube

Not much of a high-school basketball guy. So I havent seen him play yet.

But watching this video. He does show some Kawhi-esque flashes. Interesting to see how he does.

Last night UNC had their only public exhibition game. Roy appears to be stubborn and torn between starting him at the four and going small vs. having Brooks start at the five and going big. Roy is one stubborn dude and loves his big lineups, but would not be doing himself favors on the recruiting trail if he started brooks over a top 3 player. I think Nas seperates himself and ultimately wins it.

He looked decent, had a few tough block/charge calls that went against him. He got four blocks and had a lot of highlight reel dunks. It looks like the learning curve for him may be a bit longer of an adjustment, did not seem to have a sense of where he needed to be on the court, but when he was in the right place at the right time good things happened.

I love Roy and Garrison Brooks balled out last night, but his stubbornness has costed us recruits by valuing seniority over talent in the past.

Granted Coby White got the lion’s share of minutes over Seventh Woods and I can understand wanting a talent like Nas off the bench because there is no scoring punch on the bench outside of him. But man, find a way to get him the ball more. Run some plays for him. Good things happened the few times he got the ball in his spots last night. I expect him to play more because I don’t anticipate Brooks being able to replicate that performance, but quit feeding the narrative Roy!

This aint new, Roy has done this with Marvin Williams, Henson, Ed Davis and JMMcAdoo, I think Nas will end up playing 25minpg but him coming from the bench could continue all season

True that. I don’t have a problem with him coming off the bench, just his usage.

What really intrigues me about this dude is the defensive & rebounding upside. Seems to be a dog in that regard

Little has chances to prove himself this year.

If he can punk Zion or RJ/Cam when he guards them 1 on 1, he will rise high. Otherwise, I don't see him a franchise changing prospect, not draftable in the top 5. I don't think UNC stands a chance, but Little has to look competent playing 1 on 1 defense.

I think it is tempting to say that UNC does not have a chance, but I think that most would pause before making such a declaration because Nas has played against and more than held his own against all three of them in HS and UNC has experienced, older defenders to throw at them. Unless Coach K’s game plan changes, all it would take is for one of the big three to slow down. I don’t foresee them being able to keep up this production in the long run though. I could be wrong.

I have put on pause the duke is the best team in the country thought train after seeing UK against Southern Illinois and Duke against Army.

Nassir Little is the prospect I am most confident in being a big difference maker for a decade. His game is just so easy to project to the NBA in a big way with that incredibly smooth shooting, energetic dribble-drive game, tenacious & intelligent defense, and intensity/motor.

Reddish as Iguodala? I don't see how you've arrived to that conclusion.

Why not? Versatile, long wing that can handle, facilitate offense and is a smooth athlete. Iguodala probably a more explosive athlete at his peak but there are some similarities there in terms of skill set.

If Iggy had been a better shooter, I could get down with that. But since he wasn't, I don't think that works well. Especially since Reddish is so reminiscent of TMac before the Hill injury forced Tracy to be the guy for his team & assert himself. Not as explosive, but the smoothness, the length, the playmaking & PG-background, the skill, and the more laidback personality; Cam just screams pre-breakout Tmac to me :dontknow:

I just think T-Mac was a much more explosive scorer than what Reddish will be at the NBA level. Iguodala isn't a good shooter you're right but I think there offensive contributions in total in terms of scoring+playmaking are a bit more similar.
