Team Black played a pressing D…which led to dunks and layups, lots of dunks and layups and a few wide open threes.
BB Recruiting Five-Star F Ace Bailey To Rutgers
- Thread starter ScooterSports
- Start date
All three will be first round picks and I’ve seen top 15 in a lot of mock drafts. It’s all about potential.
This happens every year.
Most college basketball fans have zero understanding of the NBA draft and overly weight "college performance".
"This year's team" means nothing regarding draft potential. Who cares if the team isn't gelling yet.
They aren't going to be playing together in the NBA next year.
As you point out - nearly every mock draft has Duke with 3 likely 1st round picks. That doesn't even include anyone else declaring with a 2nd round projection.
I wouldn't say it means nothing, but certainly less than most people who don't follow think.
For top 10 guys, mostly, they can drop with a disappointing year in college - still one and done, still get picked but can be lower than expected.
I saw it live tonight, Ace is mighty impressive, J Mike is very quick but needs to add weight.
Bailey and McEachern lost to Wheeler last night... Wheeler has the #1 senior in the country Isaiah Collier (headed to USC). Page is a top 60 center also going to USC, and Hamilton is a top-150 guy going to Iowa State. All three are seniors.
Good game highlights. Jamichael Davis #1 and Ace Bailey #4 in white, Isaiah Collier 6'4" PG #4, Arrinten Page 6'9" F #22, and Jelani Hamilton 6'6" SG #10 in dark blue. (Note: The actual chronological game highlights start after the short intro array of action clips, and there might be commercials in the middle of the video. Highlights continue after the commercials)

Some problematic D by Baily's team evident in that video. I can see why Bailey fouled out. But both teams looked pretty good on the offensive end (even considering highlights probably filtered out most bad shots).
Whenever Ace was matched up down low on #22 Arrinten Page, you could tell that Page was older and 40 to 50 pounds heavier/stronger (per player height/weight stats)... I'm not sure if he's taller too... He's a legit 6'9", and depending on the source, Ace is listed anywhere from 6'7" to 6'10"... But that's also why Page is a PF/C and Ace is a SF. Ace has a huge advantage over Page from outside though and is quicker, as would be expected.
Arrinten Page was a top recruiting target for Indiana and they were in the mix til late, but Page chose USC.
I think the two defenders were so happy to be on the same court as a Rutgers commit that they were just high fiving each other.
Seems like what Pike is going after now. Smaller but really quick PGs then length at every other position
Georgia high school basketball seems like Jersey high school basketball from the mid 80s to early 2000s. Unless I’m just over-estimating based on two great teams?
