His game looks perfect for our running system. I can't even imagine having two athletes like him and Polee on the court at once. I don't know about wins or losses, but we'd be on SportCetnter Top Ten every night.
He's slightly ahead of Kennedy at the same stage, but Kennedy came out in a deeper year.
Beilein, for all of the hullaballoo, hasn't exactly put Michigan back on the map and he just lost Mike Jackson (his Detroit connect) to Purdue & a pair of Wooden watch list kids (who he inherited) off of a 17 loss team.
NTSG you've seen all these top kids play. Who do you like better. Garrett or Pointer ?
That's a relatively close one, MJ, but, considering our additions in the last five months (Harkless and Polee) , I'd opt for Garrett.
Garrett has a slightly better 3-point stroke (which, God knows, we can't take for granted). Pointer can hit it, but he's got to be wide open and have enough time to get his feet set. Both can slash and play well in the open court, but need to work on their handle in the half-court, when defenders get in their grill. They get a little flustered. Dom Pointer is more physical (which may be better suited to physical leagues like the BE or B10) on defense and doesn't mind contact on his slashes or put backs, where he gets a lot of his points.
With a year left in his hs career and concentrating on this sport, I think Garrett will really benefit from Michael Peck at Findlay as well as the facilities and competition, both in practice and w/ their very challenging schedule, that he'll receive there.
