Pro16: Underclassmen Standouts

20p 4r 2a 1b 3s vs GME   -The most complete performance I've seen out of Terrell as he served as a dynamic playmaker for Museum in a nice win over GME. Terrell started it off hot with an and1 lay through contact, hit his defender with an in n out before cashing out a 3, finished an alley lob in transition, hit his defender with another in n out into the finger roll off glass AND1, and drove it straight down the lane for a nice layup in traffic off the BLOB pass from the top of the key. Loved his tenacity on the ball defensively as he did a great job of fighting over screens and coming away with steals. Very interested to see where the '27 guard ends up transferring to as he will add a nice play-making guard that can be effective in any role.     14p 2r 1a 4s 1b vs Museum   -The straw that stirs the drink for GME. Bardere did a great job of taking his matchup off the bounce, generating paint touches to make plays for himself and for others. Loved his activity defensively as a guard with quick hands that understands how to anticipate his matchup's driving angles and cut off their path to the rim. Bardere did a great job of scoring it from all 3 levels but showed an advanced ability to get his own within the flow of the game, changing the tempo of the game flow when he needed to throw his matchup off.     2p 5r 3b vs GME   -Lot to like with the UK product as he is a sturdy big that can comfortably man the low block. Wild has good hands, can finish well through contact around the basket, and plays within himself at the offensive end of the floor--finding perimeter teammates from the low block instead of forcing up a bad shot. Loved his defensive instincts as a physical shot-blocker that times his leaps well to block shots both on or off the ball. Really underrated prospect that should see a spike in his recruitment after spending a year with the Prep team.     -Love his feel as a guard that can play off the ball as an elite shot-maker or on the ball as a distributor. Smith is very comfortable in the PnR and can deliver different passes with either hand off the live dribble. Smith also is pretty great defensively as a shifty guard that is REALLY hard to screen, traces the ball well with his hands, and doesn't sell out gambling for steals. Love that Smith didn't settle for perimeter jumpers and effectively attacked hard closeouts with 1-dribble middie jumpers or straight line drives to the basket. Smith also showed some moxie as a guard that isn't afraid of contact at either end of the floor and will throw himself at bigs in the paint to snag rebounds in traffic.     -One of the most dynamic guards that I've seen this summer. Lee uses a lightning-quick first step to get to the rim whenever he wants, slicing through small gaps in the defense before they can realize what's happening. Had three separate steals and coast-to-coast layups, finishing with at least 5 for the game, recording steals both on and off the ball as a guard that anticipate's his matchups decisions with the basketball exceedingly well. A monster POA defender, Lee is an absolute piranha on the ball and is devastatingly-effective at the top of a diamond press that TME uses to generate offense and disrupt tempo.
