It's annoying as hell. I went to a few of his games and left like
These dudes all think they can just run, run run run to the rim and not pass.
It's disgusting. You can't develop big men in this city because of it.

Dude is so frustrating to me..He shows flashes of brilliance but his basketball I.Q. worries me... He had me scratching my head so much last year during those Big 12 games...He's super talented but his rock head tendencies...
I thought the Harrison twins were going to Maryland... One of them seems to be more of a natural PG but they both can start from day 1..
Kasey Hill is the best guard in the country imo though... He is NBA ready right now... The kids is just a natural
Kasey Hill another talent from FL
my friend who works for hoopmixtape gets to record his highlights. people sleeping on FL all time talent

He will get a chance to get minutes in the rotation as a 6th man if he has a good camp..But I honestly think he's with the wrong coach and under the wrong system to really blow up too big..They are gonna want to justify matching Hibbert's max deal...99 percent of their sets are gonna have two bigs at the basket so I don't know if there is gonna be a lot of spacing for him to create..
West and Hibbert are space eithers that don't have a lot of foot speed..If it was just West there then they could do what he did in New Orlans with CP3 and put him in pick and pops...But the Pacers are gonna have a lot of plodding 80 point games...

That's the only thing holding him back.
Here's the underlying issue with NYC basketball, the kids get over hyped too soon, there have been better players coming out of Westchester county NY than NYC in the 00s yet you'd never know. And the coaches don't take chances with players in their development. A kid like Jabari Parker in NYC would have to play PF/C and nothing else, he'd never get a chance to play on the perimeter. Most of the kids with the athleticism and frame to play on the perimeter 6"5+ get funneled towards playing PF, even if they have the skillset to play on the perimeter. You see a lot of these husky 6"7 230lbs PF's coming out of NYC, great for the college game but they have little to no chance of making it to the league.
The hype thing is very real though, example, Julius Hodge won Mr. Basketball over Ben Gordon, simply cause he was from the city. Back in the day Artest and Odom got hyped over Elton Brand, even though he was a better prospect than them, and was rated higher than them nationally.
And there's always kids moving out of state, Andre Drummond lived in Mount Vernon for half his life, still reps it to this day. Things move in cycles, there will be a recruiting class that comes out of NYC that is very good, just like Toronto has seemed to hit the lotto lately. I do think you'll see more players coming from cities outside NYC like Mount Vernon, Portchester, Yonkers, White Plains etc soon, cause a lot of black people are moving north out of the city.

The Irony is that what everyone was raving about him is how well he understands the game and can control the pace....I expect him to have a much better season this year...I still think he made a mistake by going to Texas...
