taylor & i power walked from the nines thru chinatown & past a crowd of 100+ non yoga practicing chunkys waiting outside of voodoo doughnuts & then across the steel bridge over the willamette river to the moda center & back again after the 2015 nike hoop summit...them doughnuts sure looked tasty but if kameron rooks can core out, we can too
it should be noted that the game was played with international rules, 2 of the refs spoke to each other in a an eastern bloc language, with very few fouls & pushing on every sequence...also the game was impacted by selfish guard play that dominated the ball
taylor & i sat on the floor behind the basket & yelled at ivan during warm ups "hey ivan, let's do this" (me) & "go to the bears, ivan" (taylor) and he glanced over with a surprised look ("what are they doing here?") and smiled with a quick nod
we also yelled at jaylen brown, he responded with what could be best described as a laughing smirk
players notes:
ivan rabb: not many touches, competed underneath the basket for rebounds & blocked thon maker a couple of times...started the game with a leg brace & then left the game for good after a vicious poke in the eyes
jaylen brown: what an athlete, the best defender in the game with numerous disruptions of passes...offensively drained shots from all over the court ala patrick christopher during warm ups...nba body with a physical & graceful style of play...like ivan, very unselfish in sharing the ball
alonzo trier: followed up his 6-20 shooting at the mcdonalds game with 4-14 shooting at the nike summit...the arizona commit lacks court vision & jacks up the ball without even looking for his teammates, he's gonna shoot the wildcats out of games next season in tucson...life with sean miller is gonna be a rude awakening for trier
luke kennard: the best player on the usa team, the duke commit is an absolute pure shooter with a mature shot selection (9-18 fgs) & much quicker defensively than anticipated
caleb swanigan: plays very physically but still needs major s&c conditioning...his low release point shooting form along with limited hops resulted in several of his shots being blocked by the uber high flying bigs on the world team before he was eventually benched
jamal murray: impressive guard with a relentless basket attacking mode scored a game high 30 points...the canadian guard from ontario is looking to potentially reclassify from 2016 to 2015 and a nike sr employee told me his dad is leaning towards criminal dana altman's oregon ducks
ben simmons: most well rounded player in the game with 13 points, 8 rebound & 8 assists
skal labissiere: the guy nba scouts like the most from the 2015 class, skal scored 21 points along with 8 boards...the kentucky donor we sat by told me that coach cal told him that marcus lee is gonna return to lexington again next season, gotta have them practice players & that skal may not be cleared by the ncaa
brenden glapion: much to taylor's chagrin, the pride of washington high school dnp...sorry sweetie

marvin bagley iii, a 6'10" phenom from corona del sol high school (tempe) is from gilbert (an upper middle class suburb of phx) is ranked as the #1 player in the 2018 class
my yoga classmate buddy padraig o'brien (a highly respected basketball trainer that has worked with 5 lottery picks & kingsley okoroh) told me that marvin is an excellent student in the classroom with a strong academic focus & that his parents (dad is the head coach of the phoenix phamily 2018 youth basketball team) are very strict (and highly religious) & won't let their son's recruitment turn into a circus
so i asked padraig this week how good is marvin, a freshman this year in high school, compared to the pac 12's best players
padraig smiled & told me that bagley would've won the pac 12 mvp award this year...by a large margin

I don't know anything about who Cal is recruiting but I saw a kid this year that I think is as good as any freshman I have seen since Ivan Rabb......Jordan Brown 6'9" 200lbs Woodcreek High, Roseville, Ca......an extremely good athlete for a tall 14 yr old, great hands, good back to basket moves, good motor, plays hard defense.....not much not to like about a freshman like Jordan....he played with Noah Blackwell this year and he was the leading scorer and rebounder.....should take a look at least....

Glad to see him "choosing to stay and fight" (if I may borrow an old quote from Patty Hearst). When he first signed up to be a Golden Bear, conventional wisdom was that he was going to bulk up and be an undersized-but-effective 4, like his brother was at UCLA. Let's say he continues to improve, where do the coaches currently see him contributing? Shutting down an opposing wing?
