I’m talkin rec center days as a kid. You know the type. Brand new shoes fresh out the box. Shooting sleeve wristband headband knee brace shooting brace fancy shorts with the matching jersey. The whole outfit.
You pick them for your team thinking you struck gold and then they get on the court and are absolute trash. No idea what to do with the ball.
When I break down the play by play on this one it is painfully obvious that he means business. He is on a mission.
The quality. The variety. The positional awareness.
He is not afraid to slide into the corner pocket and knock down a smooth 12 to 15 footer. But do not get it twisted. He is versatile enough to put his head down drive straight through the lane and finish strong for the face shots.
This right here is what happens when the fundamentals get remastered and elevated to another level of play. This is elite tier ball.
As we step into 2026 I like what I am seeing from this league.
