Blue & Gold Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Columbus Dispatch: Mr. Basketball winner VonCameron Davis of Walnut Ridge credits parents for work ethic Good for KSUcks and good for the MAC. But I'm going to post a couple highlight videos below and, I've got to say, they strike me as pretty underwhelming. And that's not just sour grapes. I'm obviously missing something. But... his video reminds me of former Zips recruit Torrey Patton, who put up ungodly HS numbers but it was mainly because he was a hustler & 6'5". His skillset didn't translate very well to D-1 college ball (I know he's a better player now as an upperclassman at CSU). Does that impress anyone? I know this is going to come back to bite me in the ass, especially if someone digs this up when he's a junior and senior - by that time I'm sure he'll be a good player. Here's another video on his VerbalCommits dot com page. Tell me if his game doesn't remind you of Torrey Patton.

Hilltopper Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Must have been slim pickings this year. I see a 6'5" post player with no hops or outside shot. He has decent footwork. Gonna be a lot tougher getting those layups against bigger more athletic defenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Good luck to the kid. I hope he gets the opportunity to some day participate in the CBI tournament. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him going up against Reece and Currie next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 It doesn't even look like he's all that great finishing at the rim. A lot of those made baskets came after he rebounded his own misses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 you guys are hilarious. Thank you for making me laugh today. "rebounding his own misses." "good luck against Reese and Currie" and "hope he gets to participate in a CBI one day." "must have been slim pickings" Good comparison to Torrey Patton.

clarkwgriswold Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I would have hoped that they'd come up with a better tape than one against that appears to be a 7th grade CYO team. To the kid's credit, he averaged 26.2 points and 10.3 rebounds as a senior. He averaged 15.9 points and 6.9 rebounds as a freshman, 22.8 points and 6.9 rebounds as a sophomore and 27.5 points and 11.6 rebounds as a junior.

Mr. Basketballs enjoy being the #1 on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
