Vescovi clip

Maravich was a great player but it was similar to watching Allan Houston scoring a ton of points with his dad as coach. LSU was not that good with Pistol Pete but he was fun to watch. Mears did pretty well shut him down or at least keep him to around 20 points rather than 40. Mears for the most part had a funky pass pass offense that without the shot clock was quirky but effective in the limited SEC basketball (except KY) era of his time. A team finishing 2nd or 3rd in the SEC was a equivalent to about last in the ACC which was the real basketball league along with the Big 10.

How effective would Dean Smith's Four Corners stall offense had been with a shot clock?

Wait a minute now. ACC was better but not as much as that. From 66 to 70 Tennessee was 5-0 against the ACC including a win over number 1 ranked South Carolina at Columbia.
 
Best I can figure this NBA Global Academy is a High School for basketball prospects from South & Central America including the islands.
That's a serious number of potential players given the population and this guy has led his team to 2 straight championships
looks like they mainly eat, sleep, and live basketball so this is more intense than typical High School
the guy got interest and offers from Kansas, Louisville, Maryland, Miami, Rutgers, Washington State and others so he's got some serious potential
great handles - both hands and excellent body control - looks to be more ready to play at this level than most freshmen.

Pretty sure I read up on it. The Global Academy in Australia is exactly that- players from around the world. Vescovi was initially in the NBA Latin America Academy in Mexico and because he competed well and graduated, he was able to go to the Global Academy.
