D'Angelo Harrison - SG - Dulles High School - Fort Bend, TX - ST. JOHN'S

I do see Chauncey billups now that he mentioned it. Strong build, real good shooter. Looks to allways be in control. Might not be blazing fast but can get to where he wants to go on the floor.

he is coming in at #3 in my top five most cockiest highschool players i have ever spoke with

Who is the rest of the list? Did they live up to hype?

I'm guessing Lance is #1

Top 3 cockiest NY high school basketball players.

1. Lance
2. Sebastian
3. Cook

All are legends in their own minds. Is there a place more overrated than NYC?

Asked D'Angelo if he missed his last 23 shots what does he think about taking his 24th? He said how I'm going to make it without any hesitation.

This confidence would be his best asset or worst enemy.

I remember one game where Elijah Ingrim missed something like 20 3's in one game. I think he was 1-21 haha.

Him and Arciadicano should have some fun against each other then.

Re Telfair, Yeah - those highly rated players (including an ungodly number of COLLEGIATE All Americans) NOT headed into their 8th season in the nba...I understand an ego the size of Texas, but that's actually not too bad for a 6'0 165 lb player in the modern era.

Jesus....these kids can't win, huh? Either they're a pushover or "cocky."
You can't have it both ways. Which would you prefer?

All this overanalysis is killing me. Just let them get on the court and play.
The Kyle Anderson thread is driving me crazy too. Just be patient. These are kids making life-altering decisions. My gut says he's coming here, but, let him make his mind up. We'll be alright either way.   

i'm with you guinness....i'll take this kid and his cockiness, although i think it's more confidence than being cocky, any day of the week and twice on sunday vs the confidence we are used to seeing in 95% of the players we have seen in the past 5 years. (exception hardy last year and i'll even give a little to brownlee although i think he was timid at times.)

Not really over analysis or a slight to D'Angelo. He's an extremely confident kid. It's a fact. He's a really nice kid as are all the recruits but damn he's cocky.

Gonna show my age again, and say I hope it's a Walter Brennan/Will Sonnett thing......
no brag just fact

A guy who's a shooter lives by the sword and dies by the sword.
You need to have confidence when you play in this conference, and a boatload of confidence to come from Texas to New York m-fing City. The fact he's eager to do so is a positive. A gigantic positive. 

So, yes, more please.

If I have a lights out shooter I want him to be cocky as hell. I want him to take that 24th. shot to break his slump. However I also want him to have the intelligence to drive to the hoop and take that layup or 10 footer. A layup breaks the slump as much as a 25 footer. I think this kid has the smarts for that.

He is a kid who will take it to the hoop when opportunity presents itself.  He isn't someone who'll just jack jumpers.  He is very adept at getting to the tin. 

Talking about confidence I believe I read somewhere (I think a tweet) that Nuri says he will be 1st team big east.

Really like this kid.  Liked hearing him talk and how he carried himself at Rumble in the Bx.  And liked hearing this interview even more.

Side note its been said before but this feature and the Phil Greene one as well as the coaches last year were great.  Looking forward to the next player!

If he was really cocky he would've said no way in hell do I miss 23 shots in a row.  he  will be a player that you love to play with but hate to play against

See any Telfair Jerseys in sporting goods stores? He's a bust. Like every other New York prospect, he's nothing close to the hype.
