Some things I noticed:
Jason Clark was really, really good today. And so was Julian, who looks and plays like a more athletic version of his former self. Very impressed with both. Their team lost, though.
Austin was strictly doing one-on-one moves today. If he had the ball, he was going to take a shot., one way or another And many of the moves were damn good. He looked very nimble out there, quicker than I remember - on offense, that is. A couple of times he did some uber-athletic move to score and then relaxed while his man went downcourt and made a 3 on the other end.
Jerrelle fouled a lot.
Henry looked repeatedly hesitant.
For the third game, it looked like it would be 13 against 5 for a while. And the 13 featured an incredible lineup of Chris, Greg, Scotty Reynolds, Jeff, and the biggest surprise of the day, Kevin Durant. It was so potentially lopsided that Jeff switched teams before the start; James Gist was on his team.
Jeff looked terrific, with that seemingly effortless style of his. Played great D as well as O. Chris also looked very, very good. Greg sort of in between. It was fun to see Chris and Scotty on the same team. There was a funny moment near the end when Chris sort of tried to drive on Jeff, with predictable results and the whole gym pretty much laughing. Kevin seemed content to play the facilitator and not try too much on his own.
Added on edit: Hollis was . . . OK, but I wouldn't say that he deserved today the rave reviews he got on the first two days. Jerrelle has some work to do. If Vee was there, I didn't notice. Never heard his name called. I'm most excited about what I saw from Jason and Julian, which isn't to say that they were *better* than Austin or Chris. Julian did look better than either Henry or Greg today, even though Greg wasn't bad.

to echo mapei's thoughts.....Austin was great on offense not so on D...but its summer league.....Austin had 2 nice posterizing dunks driving from the left baseline.
Jason clark looks really really good out there in all facets
Julian played with the tombs today...no more Vee for the summer. He looked Damn good. Hit 2 3's had great post moves inside, and dunked on someone. had a whole lot of block shots coming weak side, on the man he was guarding, he had to have at least 4-5 blocks.
Chirs looked really good as well he is bull strong going to the cup now Greg looked good but Jeff was guarding him most of th game he really didnt get a whole lot of looks against him in the post.
Hollis once again got no touches this time the culprit was Andrew Washington who showed up mid way thru the 1st and basically took over directing Coach Rodneys attack. He was posting a 5-6ish guard so i dont blame him. Hollis had 13 pts in the 1st 10mins of the game hitting 2 3's In the 2nd half he had a total of maybe 3-4 shots, 1-2 on 3's. Hollis has a great looking shot and a perfect easy delivery. Ryan doughtery hit some game sealing Ft's lol. Was put in specifically for that it seemed by Coach Rodney. didnt play at all in the 2nd hlaf till the end and the game was still in doubt.
Henry-didnt see yesterday explosion, but today he was the same Henry I saw 1st game. Hollis guarded him the whole game........and basically did a very good job. And mapei hit it right Jerrelle was basically just a walking foul...I dont remember him taking but 2 shots off of a offense Rebound.
added on edit...mapei did you see the 1st 10mins of the game...how was Hollis not impressive??? he had like 13 of their 27 pts...jasper williams had the 12 of those.

Kevin Durant did not play for DCX in the third game of the day. When you walked by that player afterward in his street clothes, it was certainly not him. Hate to disappoint, but it was not him.
Austin has trimmed down a lot. He had a couple of very quick moves to the hoop, including some nice dunks. He was aggressive and looked to attack often. This is summer league so that has to be taken into consideration. His game has improved because of his weight loss. His defense is uninspired, but I'm sure III will fix that once practice begins.
Jason looks like he did last year in Kenner, quick drives and a nice knack for putting the ball in the hoop. He does get pushed around a little too much because of his size. I do like his defense and willingness to facilitate this summer.
Jerelle is a project. If he losses the fat and puts some muscle on, ok, but until then, thoroughly unimpressed against good competition. He does hustle and is willing to bang which is a welcome sight.
Vee is home for the rest of the summer now that the Community Scholars program is over. I would be surprised to see him back in Kenner. In what he has played, he's been ok, not aggressive on offense. He will be a good backup point gaurd this season.
Julian was very very impressive today with his defense and rebounding. He had a couple of defensive posessions where he had at least 2 or 3 blocks in each. It looked like he had a double double today, maybe even a triple with the blocks. He has trimmed down nicely and is athletic. He also has developed some range. He hit a few long jumpers and even a 3 to get the crowd excited for the impact he'll have this season.
Henry needs to toughen up mentally. He has the ability to score, even though he still has no outside shot. Whenever he is playing someone bigger than himself, he struggles because he is afraid to bang and get hurt. This lack of physical play if his biggest roadblock to being a real asset. I would like to see him ask for the ball more and attack the rim and finish over the next two weeks.
Chris is a lot of fun to watch. He turned the game today into the Chris Wright Show a few times. He is great at attacking the rim, and his distribution isn't too bad either. He looked a little tired at the end of the game, which is an indicator that he still has a way to go to get back into game shape. He looked like a very good D-1 point guard.
Greg is tough to analyze when he doesn't play against a lot of big guys in Kenner. He and Jeff did go at it a bit, but Greg missed most of his shots from outside 5 feet. The best part of his performance today was his defense and the steals. The Amare camp looks to have helped him.
I didn't see Hollis today, but he has played well when I have been there. I love his jump shot.
Beasley was there last night and hopefully him, Jeff, and Scottie will be there a few more times.
JWal was in attendance, but did not play.

Was there for the first time. First quick notes: Austin definitely looks trimmer. Vaughn is definitely more athletic. Thompson is definitely taller than I expected, he just looks so long and tall. Anyways the most impressive player to me was Clark. Last year I kept saying if his handle ever caught up with his speed, he would be pretty deadly. Well for this game atleast his handle didn't let him down, though he fell in love with it a little too much, but still the results were very good. Vaughn, from what I saw today, has improved tremendously. He much much more explosive, and more agressive and in better shape then he was during the season. Was able to dunk over people, swat shots away and even get a few goal tending calls. And knock down a few outside shots that were either right infront of or behind the three line. Definitely impressed. Austin certainly put on the show himself. He had some very impressive dunks, more explosion on his drives and scored almost everytime he threw the ball up. Very good. Though it would be nice if we could see more of his outside shot, but none of our guards were really shooting form the outside. Hollis was impressive as well. Good shot from what I could see, and if they ever got him the ball he could have been much more effective then he was. But when he did get the ball, I could definitely see where the rave reviews were coming from. Henry, well, you have to keep in perspective that he seems to be really focusing on only his back to the basket game in Kenner, which is by far his weakest area. Definitely still needs work and confidence there. Needs to get stronger with the ball as well. I think if he was working more on his face up game he would look a lot better, but he is a great passer. With his little faceup game and passing skills I think he would be a good compliment to Monroe. Monroe to me was one of the worst Gtown players today, though I am not too concerned as 1) he was going against Jeff 2) this isn't really his type of game and 3) he obviously isn't one of our worst players so a bad game was probably just the cause. That being said I have yet to see any semblence of a right hand from the boy, and it cost him atleast one basket today. And going off this one game, he hasn't really improved his finishing. Personally I think those were his two weakest points, but will definitely need more time before you can really tell if he did or didn't improve in those areas. I am pretty sure it was just an off day. Chris Wright was probably the best player on the floor outside of Jeff today. Seemed to be finishing on his drives at a rate I haven't seen him do before. Did a good job chosing when to drive and when to pass out, and was just really effective and seemed to be playing improved defense. Something else that I thought was interesting was that our guards were very effective and efficient and finished almost every drive they took, which was all they were really looking to doing. Overall just really impressed with our guys today.
Also, even though this is just Kenner, our backcourt next year should be pretty sick if our players keep improving.

I think Julian looked as good as he has since coming to the hill. It is obvious that he is more focused than before. Hollis looked real good and basically ate Henry for lunch. It really was fun watching both Scottie and Chris on the same team. Jason continued to perform at a high level.

So nice to hear the glowing reports on Julian. We certainly need either him or Henry to step up and contribute in a big way....from the sound of things, it looks like Julian may be the man.

Gonna be a while still until I can post tonight--it'll be in this thread though.
Julian was quite impressive--bordering on shocking how much more athletic and versatile he looks on the court.

YOU PAY $4 FOR GAME...says the handwritten sign affixed to the booth at the gate of the Southwest Quad Parking garage. Guess that telephone conversation on Thursday night had a takeaway. Thankfully, the booth is unmanned on the weekends, so those of us in the non-guaranteed NBA contract set can park for free underground. Winding up the interior of the garage, I noticed a beverage cooler and several discarded McDonald's wrappers on the ground in an empty parking space next to a Sport Utility Vehicle, a small gathering assembled near the open trunk. No way--people can't possibly be tailgating the Kenner League?!?!? Upon further inspection, it turned out to be a family loading their teenager's belongings into mom and pop's SUV with a New Jersey license plate--given the August 1 date, no doubt a summer program student returning home from their time at Georgetown. My 27th birthday was a week and half ago, and during the course of the day I had a moment of reflection. It occurred to me that exactly 10 years before I had been, like the young'n downing Quarter Pounders on Level 2 of the SWQ garage, a summer program student at Georgetown. It was the first and only time I visited the Hilltop before enrolling, but that week I spent in DC convinced me where I wanted to be for college. I spent a few moments reflecting on what my 17 year old self was like, and how I've changed over the past ten years--four of which I did in fact spend in the SFS and watching copious amounts of gradually declining levels of Georgetown basketball. This is a thought exercise I do often to motivate myself or just to think: on whatever given day I happen to be at, I look back exactly X number of years and try to determine what I was doing on, say, August 2, 2003*--and I consider what got me from point A to point B and how many interesting experiences I'd had along the way. (*I'd returned home to Florida the previous day after a summer internship in DC--I stayed in Henle.) I tell you all this to emphasize why exactly I always call for some kind of longer-term perspective when looking at the short-term struggles of Georgetown's basketball team. Basketball had nothing to do with my decision to attend Georgetown--thankfully, as the other schools that accepted me have won a combined 5 national titles since then. But I can only imagine what folks who were fans must think if they looked back to July 23, 1999 when I was learning about international relations and living in Village C. I know I can vividly recalled what was going on in Georgetown basketball on August 2, 2003--nothing good. Heck, even the Kenner League had to move to UDC that summer. We Are One 64 CLYDES 57Same teams, same result. Probably not as entertaining a game as yesterday's affair, but perhaps a more interesting one from the perspective of a recapper. I rib Coach Rodney a lot, but it's to his credit that the man actually does coach his Kenner League teams. It makes for a much more honest assessment of players when they compete against an honest defense and players (probably over-) coached to execute on offense. I bring this up because once again, the We Are One 2-2-1 press gave a team fits. In the end, this strangely more than anything contributed to Henry Sims' modest scoring line. Speeding up the game and forcing uncomfortable passes took Sims out of his comfort zone, which yesterday was converting on dump-downs, offensive rebounds, and other assorted cheapies where his athleticism was best put to use. When Sims tries to catch a bounce pass slightly behind him on the run however...things don't click. The games are certainly competitive--this one was in single digits throughout--but in the end Clyde's couldn't quite get over the hump. In fact, there hasn't been a team yet going into the final 2 minutes down by 3-6 points that has pulled out a comeback victory, to my knowledge. Henry Sims: 14 points, 5-8 2pt, 3-5 FT, 5RB (3off), 4A, 6TO, 1STLI alluded to the 2-2-1 press WAO employs and how it forces teams to do uncomfortable things. It can also provide interesting situations to evaluate. To wit: what do you do with Henry Sims in a zone-press situation? Clydes had a pretty good solution--they'd plant him near the opposite bench along the sideline, and use him for a long cross court outlet. Provided the pass is reasonably accurate, you're probably not intercepting it from a dude of Henry's size and length. What's more, Henry made several nice decisions off those press-breakers, and at least two assists directly to a cutter. Situation to keep in mind for later during the season. I'd agree with the observation above that Henry seems less assertive when his defender is willing to take him on or be physical in the post. Many--in fact the clear majority--of Sims' baskets on Friday night were quick hits, the type where he slips into a free area behind the defense on the weak side and can go uncontested at the basket. He had to work harder today, and it naturally was more of a battle. On one occasion, he had a much smaller defender pinned in great baseline post position and passed out of it. He's still proficient as ever cleaning up the offense glass for putbacks. Jason Clark: 22 points, 6-8 2pt, 1-4 3pt, 4-8FT, 3RB, 2A, 3TO, BLK/STLHere's a guy on the move. Of his six two-point field goals, four were transition baskets--and I mean that he took the ball under the basket, drove the length of the floor, and finished strong at the rim. The fifth basket was a kamikaze like drive through three defenders capped off with a tough finish. The last featured a killer crossover move and about a 14 foot jumper. I have to mention one of the coast-to-coast drives. He gathered a loose ball rebound at about the free throw line, in one motion throwing the ball behind his back to allude an oncoming defender also going for the board, then streaked down court, bobbled the ball for a second, but saved it between his legs* while getting by two more defenders and finishing with a layup. (*In the interest of objectivity, he also appeared to take about four steps in doing this, but it wasn't called.) The knock on Clark last season was the handle--he dribbled the darn ball too high and he wasn't careful against pressure. He seems to have largely adjusted for that weakness, and his handle is looking much tighter and his work in traffic is highly improved. Within the first few games of Kenner, the one area of work seems to be decision making. A lot of this is a function of the loose and up-tempo style of the league...but Clark seems weakest when he's trying to make too fancy or too low percentage a pass. Could turn into a track meet out there if he and Wright see a lot of the court at the same time. Hollis Thompson: 16 points, 2-6 2pt, 3-3 3pt, 2-2 FT, 7RB, 1TO, BLK/STLThis kid has some serious athleticism. It's of the type that can be both smooth--see how he comes off a screen or curls for an in-rhythm three point attempt--or explosive--when he blows by a defender on the baseline and elevates from behind the backboard to finish at the rim. Some smarts too you see on occasion--nice cut down the vacated lane on one possession to get himself a finish at the rim over Henry Sims. He's being coached up by Rodney for sure--and I'm not sure if the defensive effort is altogether there yet on a consistent basis. But there's potential for some fun times watching him work. Interestingly, he guarded Henry off and on in the early going, and faced off on the offensive end as well. Henry probably hopes not to have to cover athletic, explosive, 2/3s like Hollis next season. Ryan Dougherty: 2 pts, 0-1 FG, 0-2 3pt, 2-2 FT, 2RBPlayed several minutes, and almost immediately took all three of his shots. The FTs were in the final minute, possibly the last points of the game. [AHEAD: The Dino Sponges together at last!]

TOMBS vs. Aquamarine Hunger Force
I can't recall the score, but the Force won by a single digit margin in a game that they lead pretty reliably by 6-8 points for most of the second half.
Austin Freeman: 24 points, 11-15 2pt, 0-3 3pt, 2-2 FT, 1RB, 1A, 2S, 2BL, 1TO
Seems to have the ultimate green light during the summer league. I don't think he even passed the ball on Tombs' first two possession--both ending with impressive pull-up jumpers, the latter in transition.
He just goes and goes and goes when he wants to. You'll not recognize the Austin Freeman in Kenner League if you're accustomed to what you watch at 7th and F...he plays completely different in the summer than during the regular season.
What that summer style consists of is a lot of slashing to the hoop off the dribble, and athletic one-handed finishes in traffic. Where a few summers ago Austin was "barreling" through the lane, absorbing contact on his way to the hoop, he's going around defenders now, though still taking the occasional punishment at the rim.
A first in a looooooooong time--Austin threw down some major dunks. Not the uncontested 2-on-0 break types. He got a head of steam along the baseline and tomahawked two one-handers in the second half. Wasn't the whole "he can't dunk any more" storyline like Chapter 1 of the Fat Patrol discussions last season?
I guess we have to wait and see if anything Austin does on a somewhat undermanned KL team matches his role during the regular season. One welcome sign of his guard play--the way he worked the pick and roll with Julian Vaughn.
Jerelle Benimon: 0 points, 0-1 FG, 3RB, 1BLK, 1A, 4F
Lacks nothing in the heart and competition department--he opened the game by skying for a huge block on a transition layup attempt in fact.
He's not quite there though as a traditional defender for a 4 or 5 position. He makes some questionable decisions--he was the victim of a poster-quality dunk that also picked him up a foul (should never have challenged the dunk), and he gets tagged a lot for fouls. Would like to see him do better on the defensive glass as well, but he also had the same unfortunate task Henry did a few nights ago going against the bruising frontline of AMHF.
Julian Vaughn: 22 points, 7-11 2pt, 1-2 3pt, 5-7 FT, 8RB, 2TO, 5BLKs
This one surprised me. Ain't a darn thing sponge-like about him anymore. He looks much leaner, more muscular, and I gotta confess--I did NOT see the athleticism coming. He runs the floor and uses a variety of skills in a way not previously seen from him.
You can dismiss certain things as "summer league athleticism" since the tempo is high and defense is soft, leaving any kind of hustle over-valued. But Julian straight moves out there on the court now.
His first two baskets tell the tale. On the first, he took a defender (a smaller one at that) off the dribble from the perimeter with his left hand and finished with the left for a plus-one opportunity. On the next, he got the ball in a low post position in front of the basket, turned, and threw down a wicked left-hand jam over his defender.
Wasn't just the athleticism though--he flashed all kinds of traditional moves, from baby hooks to drop steps to a face up game from mid range. He even confidently knocked down a three pointer a jumper with his foot on the 3pt line. Perhaps blasphemous in some circles--he had way better post moves that Greg Monroe. Not trying to hype it, just pointing out what you can do with versatility.
The most crowd-pleasing aspect of his game in McD today--5 blocked shots and probably at least 3 goaltending calls.
Stephen Stepka: 2 blocked shots
On Calvin Brown of all people.

DCX vs. Bearcats
(DCX features Chris Wright, Greg Monroe, Scottie Reynolds, Jeff Green until he switched sides before the game, and depending on who you believe, Kevin Durant.)
"Jeff Green...Oklahoma City...N.B.A."
Picture the Kenner League announcer pronouncing that one with a chuckle, as Jeff throws down another crowd pleasing dunk.
It's one of the fun pleasures of Kenner to see the NBA players come back, drift their way through a game without trying to overwhelm things, until they get that one sliver of space and say "ya know what, screw it, I'm taking this guy/jamming this ball/throwing this between my legs."
Lots of fun with Green and James Gist and Maybe Kinda Sort Durant (my 02 cents--right size and build, but even after staring at his NBA.com profile picture, I'd say it was him but wouldn't be willing to bet money...come to think of it, did he ever score and have his name announced?) this afternoon, and the game was surprisingly close given the talent disparity even with Jeff switching to the jack-o-lantern team (hey, the shoes matched so why not). DCX won by about 6 points.
Greg Monroe: 8 points, 4-12 2pts, 0-1 3pts, 5RB, 1A, 3TO, 1STL
The very first time he tried to go to the hole, Jeff Green absolutely positively gangsta swatted him into oblivion. The ongoing Green v. Monroe battle was highly entertaining. Greg got a man-sized task in this one, alternating between Green and (more often) James Gist on the interior. Good physical test for Monroe early in the summer, and the results were uneven.
Greg still heavily favors the left hand, to the point of predictability and possibly limiting scoring options in the post. There were also a few strips and near turnovers down low when he got into a crowd. It's a skill set he'll need to improve for sure, although I don't think he'll be called upon exclusively as a true post, as he really was in today's game. Won't probably have too much of a chance to be a point forward in a summer league--which is too bad, because even on missed connections, he showed today several flashes of what makes him a visionary passer.
This, like Sims, will even out as he faces different levels of competition.
Chris Wright: 18 points, 8-13 2pt, 2-3 FT, 6RB, 5A, 1TO, 1STL
Heard maybe half a dozen conversations referencing that the DCX backcourt of Wright and Reynolds might have been the Hoyas backcourt in an alternate universe.
We certainly got a good one (not that Nova didn't too) in Wright, who wasn't as speedy baseline to baseline as Clark today, but showed great athleticism on several reverse layup finishes in traffic.
He showed some nice decision making with the ball, from the transition game (a great drive and kick to Reynolds for a three) and spotting Monroe on dump down chances behind the defense.
Not a whole lot--he just looks good at what he does.
If you're interested, Jeff Green had 19 points on 8-17 shooting from the field, and six blocks, many of which were cringe worthy.
Back tomorrow for another KL tripleheader, kicking off this time at the more sleep-in and morning-errands appropriate hour of 2:10 for the We Are One contest.
