About this Page -- This is a discussion on Scotty Hopson Page 60. within the forum Tennessee Vols Recruiting. for real, he came in and got to the foul line twice, then gets yanked. ...
overhyped, undersized point guards who are average outside shooters and care more about flashy passes and their own stats than helping their team win, yeah I'd say it is a pretty good comparison.
Volsguy, I think your misunderstanding me. Rosario is the kid playing right now that is going to Rutgers. This is the 08 class. Greg Echenique is a player from the 09 class who has committed to Rutgers. Next year will be his sr year of high school.
I know this game isn't really useful for coming to a verdict on one player vs another, but to me I think I'd rather have Hopson than Singleton or Elliot. Mind you this is the first time I've seen any of them playing, but he just seems a bit more explosive than they do.
I played against Jrue when he was a freshman at a Daytona Beach tournament my junior year, and I was astonished to find out after the game he was only a freshman. His skills, demeanor, and attitude have always been extremely mature.
Jennings scored 63 pts in a game this year.. Have watched him play a couple times on TV.. He is not an average shooter.
Wait until he plays against guys on the next level and tries to shoot over them, he's in for a rude awakening. He may be a better than average shooter, but by no means is he a great shooter. Jennings is not on the same level as Derrick Rose either, not even close.
I'm curious to know what Elliots wingspan is. I bet it's at least 6'8, he is LONG. I think if he puts on 15 pounds he can be a lockdown defender even at the NBA level.
He really is. I was delightfully suprised at his size. He gets to learn some real check d from K next year. That will be great with him replacing the ACC defensive player of the year. And he is a bigger scoring threat than Demarcus.
