Continue ReadingFoster dominated this game from start to finish on both ends of the floor, exiting the game early with a 27p 14r 6b 3a performance. The highly-touted sophomore wing has matured and you can see it in his shot selection and pace, he is doing a much better job of reading the defense and knows where his teammates are before hitting a spin move out of a double team. The improved emphasis on protecting the paint has been huge, as his quest to attack the glass and collect as many rebounds to create more opportunities for his team. He hit a 3, hit a midrange pull-up, scored off of putback dunks, had a nice series of step-through moves to score in the paint, got to the line (8/8), and did a great job of serving as a passing hub from the high post. If the 3s fall consistently with more volume and he can improve his lateral mobility well enough to consistently guard 1s+2s– watch out.

Dantzler shot an efficient 5/7 from the floor and 3/3 from the FT line to finish with 16p 6a 2r 2s on the night. He did a fantastic job of directing traffic and getting teammates in the right position on both ends of the floor–advanced for a prospect his age. His change of speed and direction off the bounce created advantage opportunities for his team the entire night, his aggressive probing leading to defensive breakdowns for Lake Clifton. His ability to get his legs under him to provide balance on pull-ups or stepbacks makes the afore-mentioned dribbling wizardry much more difficult to guard. On the ball he was very pesky defensively, forcing his matchup to change direction or pick up their dribble on numerous occasions. It was good to see his game in a more well-rounded role with more scoring flashes to provide more context than the table-setting pure PG nature that we see from him in the summer.

Got Lake Clifton out into transition at a high level in the 2H, wasn’t afraid to drive amongst the trees in the paint and finish with a variety of finesse moves around the rim. Very shifty guard, uses change of speed with his dribble and head fakes to get the defense off balance before attacking their top foot. Touch in the paint was very good throughout. Senior guard finished with an efficient 16p 4r 1a.
Jones struggled from beyond the arc but did a great job of getting to the paint and making up for his misses on the glass to extend possessions for his team on the offensive end and close out defensive possessions. The shifty 5’9 guard attacked Edmondson in the secondary break to hit two smooth 1-dribble pull-ups to cut the Edmondson lead to the mid teens, the closest it ever got. The senior guard was patient with his reads coming off of ball screens and routinely made the right decision, finishing with 10p 5r 2s.
