I've already seen all I need to with sexton with ball controls and passing. I need to see that he can can shoot consistently. The all star games didn't show that.

I know I know timing was off and wasn't use to the arenas. I still need to see it.

Guess we'll have to wait till the team plays in Canada to see. I think he was just under a 35% from the perimeter, so not sure he'll have a good jump shot next year or not. My main concern is if he's too turnover prone playing so fast and too cocky in driving the lanes.

Nba draft scouts say he's a streaky shooter.

Giddens is going to be a major player for us this season. Has one of the highest ceilings on the team. Wouldn't surprise me if he had a few 20 point games.

I assume you see him starting? PF or C? I think, regardless of who starts, we'll see a lot of Hall and Giddens on the floor.

I see him starting because he can play the 4 or 5. We go big he plays the 4. We go small he's neck and neck with Hall at the 5. I've heard he's very streaky. When he's on, he can be unstoppable. Hall, on the other hand, is very consistent.

Smith's emergence should let us go big without having to worry too much about foul trouble. He's not on Giddens and Hall level yet, but he should be able to spell those two for a few minutes if needed. Have heard he's very fundamental with good athleticism solid build.

I think Avery wants a big lineup. Keep hearing how much he loves Fleming too. Would love to see us bring back Rejection Row.

Rivals Watford Update

quote:

I love them. As soon as he (Avery Johnson) got there, he offered me when I was in the eighth grade. That was my first offer and we are just staying in contact. We have a pretty strong relationship with all the coaches, even with the one that just came in from Georgia.

They got a strong class and I think they are preseason top-25. They have a real strong class with (Collin) Sexton, (Herb) Jones, (John) Petty and all those guys. We will just see how it goes.

Watford will finish out his junior summer with the Nike Team Florida 17-under team on the Nike EYBL circuit.

No visits are set just yet. But as he had stated, Watford would like to visit Kentucky along with a few other local programs in the weeks ahead.

Watford is a difficult matchup in the frontcourt, as he has a keen sense of his surrounding. He is the type of forward that can play either the three or the four depending on the lineup that he is placed into.

I'd be overjoyed if Giddens has developed an offensive game. He's got the physique to be a beast.

He likes to shoot it. That's for sure.

5-star Khavon Moore talks his recruitment

quote:

Alabama: “I had a good time there. I went over to talk to Coach Avery [Johnson]. He’s a good guy. He talked to me about how they would use me.”


Rivals reaction:

quote:

Alabama has recruited very well under Johnson, and adding Yasir Rosemond to his staff last month gives him somebody with strong ties in the Peach State that could help with Moore

Georgia seems to be the leader, but I'm not too worried about them

A year from today Collin Sexton will be getting drafted. It's weird to think about that when he hasn't even played a game yet lol. I know some people say there's a very small chance he may stay two years, but I just don't see that happening

Let's say we play big. Riley and Petty come off the bench right?

Sexton
Dazon
Key
Giddens
Hall

I guess it's possible Dazon doesn't start. I can't imagine Sexton and Key don't start.

Can't see Fox lasting another year at UGA, so that should help.

Yes. I'm pretty sure that's how we'll look when we go big.

I was hoping that would be a weekend game so I could make it up to Huntsville.
