    Abaev apparently hit two early 3s in the McDonald’s AA Game

    Watched him in the fourth quarter and his defense was subpar and his ball handling / decision-making not great.

    Small sample size but eager for him to get to campus.

      8 points in the first half. They had him initiating the offense in the second half, (6 turnovers) which he won’t be doing next year. Poor defense but one nice play, zero effort on the boards (1 rebound). 3-4 shooting, 2-3 on threes. It looks like he can play at the 2 or 3 next year.

        I saw the first quarter of the game. He didn’t start the game but came in with the second unit about half-way through the first. Hit a couple of threes in the first quarter. He showed no effort to rebound or defend. That was concerning to me. But his shooting stroke is pure.

          My guess is there wasn't much defense in this game, the coaches are asked to showcase the offensive side.
          Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.

          Intimidate! Dominate! Celebrate!

            Yeah, hard to tell if that was the game plan or not. I guess the other concern is he did not move well without the ball, a trend I have noticed with Miller’s offense/players.

              6 turnovers, in 14 minutes of action, in a game with little defense? Ouch!

              I think we need to prioritize a slasher.

                The teams combined for 34 turnovers.

                  The high number of turnovers is probably the players not used to playing with each other and not used to laying against a full team of good players

                    Like any typical All-star game, flashy won out over solid. Everything was done on the run, with each player who managed to get his hands on the ball trying to show what he could do. As far as moving without the ball was concerned, it wouldn't have made much difference. Most of the guys exhibited "touch ball, shoot ball" tendencies.

                    In Abaev's case, it was reported that he played with an injured hand, so that could've contributed to ballhandling sloppiness.

                    While all of the players are considered to be All Americans, a few stood out, as predicted. AJ Dybantsa (BYU), the Boozer twins (Duke legacies), Darren Peterson (KS), and Tounde Yessoufou (Baylor) are absolute studs.

                      • I didn't watch him in the all-star game. I will wait and comment when he gets into our system and how he plays with the other Cats. I will look for a hungry and winning attitude as all bearcat greats have had.

                        • Abaev Added to World Team Roster for 2025 Nike Hoop Summit

                          Nike Basketball announced today that Shon Abaev (Israel) has been added to the World Select Team Men’s roster. Abaev will wear No. 4.

                          Abaev is a University of Cincinnati commit and is the second-highest rated high school recruit in the program's history. He recently led Calvary Christian Academy to a Florida Class 3A state championship. Abaev replaces Dash Daniels (Australia) who will no longer be participating due to injury.

                          The 2025 Nike Hoop Summit, featuring a women’s and men’s doubleheader, will be held on Saturday, April 12, at Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, and will be live on USA Network and Peacock at 7:30 p.m. ET. Tickets are on sale now by clicking here.

                          Nike Basketball previously announced the World Select men’s and women’s rosters for the 2025 Nike Hoop Summit. The World’s top talent will join forces to face USA teams, which include several members who won gold medals last summer at the FIBA U17 World Cup and FIBA U18 AmeriCup and represent the high school graduating classes of 2025. The World team features elite talent with players ages 19 and younger across six continents.

                          In addition to Abaev, the World men’s roster includes Ikenna Alozie, Kiyan Anthony, Tajh Ariza, Bogoljub Marković, David Mirkovic, Omer Mayer, Jaion Pitt, Eric Reibe, Dame Sarr, Tounde Yessoufou and Boyuan Zhang.

                          The men’s team will be led by coach Marshall Cho of South Korea.

                            "Because he can get his shot off at any time, he also has a tendency to settle for contested shots, including tough twos. The progression of his overall efficiency will depend on him being a more willing ball-mover and utilizing his vast scoring arsenal within the flow of a more balanced offense."

                            This is exactly the problem we're seeing with Jizzle. We don't run a balanced offense that allows players like this to improve their efficiency. We let them take tough twos, even encourage it. That has to change.

                                Lance Stephenson. The 90s recruits were pre-rankings.
