Sight unseen, he sounds a lot like Keith Legree.

Funny, I was thinking similarly. I need to
get a little more excited for James.

Sight unseen, he sounds a lot like Keith Legree.

I think Legree was more of a power point guard, absorb the pounding and get to the line. James is a better shooter, better defender, and more athletic. I think he compares more favorably with a Satterfield type.

Every writeup I see about James says his weakness is his jump shot and 3 point shooting. 11% from three point range in the EYBL league. As I said, this is sight unseen, but sounds like more of a penetrator.

As long as he can direct the offense, not turn the ball over, play great defense and make sure everyone else scores, the lack of a jump and 3 point shot doesn't bother me.

I would agree, he even has the body Satterfield had... Kenny was great driving to the basket, but his jump shot needed improvement... LeGree was built more like a Michael Horton, only with a lot more skills.

He's got great athleticism/hops for a kid not super tall. Given how little UC has dunked the ball in the last couple years, Griffith + James will help change that.

Legree was really good distributor but couldn't shoot. Getting to the line was a below 60% proposition for his career in college

James led the team in assists and shot 85% at the line in HS last season and had the most attempts on his team. He can do both.

We did not get any dunks the past couple of years because everyone was hanging out on the perimeter and jacking threes.

Ain't that the truth.

[Bearcat93]

That FT% is incredibly welcome

#83 in new on3 rankings. I believe he was 78 previously.
