[...] posted video from the Pangos Dream classic here. Windward lost to Leuzinger 59-49 but Leuzinger is a solid team [...]

Ryan: You forgot Novak, he would be the most likely to play the three IMO but you also have to get him on the court in other ways (at the 2 and 4 presumably) because he needs to play more minutes than just when Manny sits.

D-Mo could be a 2-guard because he has size and isn’t lightning quick but he is being brought in to the be the guy at PG. It also is worth noting that offensively the 1 and the 2 are very very similar in Beilein’s offense.

We will be so deep next year, I don’t know how beilien will work the lineups:
PG: Grady, Morris
SG: LLP, Vogrich, Douglass
SF: Manny, Wright? ?? Will he move one of the SG here? Vogrich Might be the most likely canidate with his size.
PF: Sims, Mclimans, Wright
C: Gibson, Morgan

I have seen him listed as a combo guard. Does he play any of the 2? Not that we would use him at the 2, because we will be stacked there, but I was just wondering.

Darius seems to have a tendency (at least in that vid) to jump-pass. He’ll need to stop that once he gets to the next level. Still, I’m really excited to see him at Crisler next year…

aMaized – its Gravel Pit by Wu Tang

Tom_McC – thanks for pointing that out. I actually hadn’t realized how well regarded they were. Just checked and they are #8 in the LA Times Top 25 (Windward is #16). It was an odd game with a strange flow so it was difficult to tell how good they were. You are absolutely right about their guards though – you can see in the video how they were all over Darius. I like that 6′7 kid they have underneath – he’s impressive. A couple inches taller and the high majors would have been all over him.

WTheF, thanks for posting the vid. BTW, what are the titles of the tracks?

Just an fyi on this game…Leuzinger is one of the best teams in the state and they have taken Westchester(best team in the state) to the brink both times they played them.

Leuzinger has really good, quick, tough and smart guards and they are talented. I’ve seen them play about 4 times this year.

Just wanted to give you guys some background on the competition as you evaluate Darius’ play.
