Kadeem Coleby

Are they playing by International rules? I thought that after the ball hits the rim, it's a live ball and the defense can knock the ball off the rim. Or did they hit the ball before it even hit the rim?

Not sure but the defense knocked the ball out of the cylinder from the bottom as the ball was finally falling through. It was one of those that bounced a few times and as it fell through the defense knocked the ball out from the bottom of the net. I did notice they blew the whistle and gave AIA 3 points

Halftime stats for KC

1-4 FG 3-3 FT = 5 PTS 5 RB 3 BS 1 TO

The jam came on a 3/4 court bounce pass on the break that EO would've kicked down the tunnel. KC snagged it and exploded upward in one motion, catching the taller defender off guard.

Lmao.

If they did it like that, then that's goaltending.

That was a pretty undisciplined game, but I noticed KC setting some very pretty and solid screens. Sealed the lane nicely a few times too. I thought he appeared more disciplned than a lot the AiA players. A year under Marshall can do that.

I think VanVleet and Baker are going to love KC.

KC screens, rebounds, blocks shots, and gets some points. What's not to like?

I really want to see a solid sky hook so I can dub him Kadeem Abdul Jabbar

Ran through the video from this a.m. There were some missing segments, but I had KC for ...

5 points (2-10 from field, 1-1 from the line), 9 rebounds, 1 blocked shot, 2 assists and 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

He was struggling against a pretty active 7-0 guy who blocked three or four of his shots. He missed both jumpers and scored on a massive follow jam and a nice and-one lay-in off of an offensive board. They won in OT and play tomorrow at 9 a.m. central.

No video today. The opposing team isn't allowing it. Probably for the best, as they're playing a U20 junior team.

KC sure moves well and looks very quick for his size, I have to believe this game type situation will sure pay off for him since he sat out last year.

That's a key point. What a great opportunity for him to knock off the rust. I didn't get to see the game so I sure appreciate the thread!

Aaaaaaaand the Lithuanian team beat AIA by 28. Perhaps it was the pro squad after all?

It was the pro squad:

@AIA_Basketball: AIA defeated by BC Zalgiris by 28. Guys played hard, but one of the top pro teams in Lithuania played a fierce game. @bczalgiris

AIA's game today

When I first found out about AIA's series of games in Lithuania several days ago, I logged on to the website someone posted above. To do so, I had to provide my email address. I saw a team introduction & the 1st few minutes of a game, but I had to leave for a family gathering. But, each day after that, I rec'd an email telling me when the game would be on that day. I never had time to watch any games until today. The game started at 11 Am CST. I logged on around 12:30 PM, so I was able to watch the last 30 minutes of play. When I first started watching, AIA had #14 playing center, but he soon came out & Kadem Coleby played the rest of the game. I thought he did pretty well. He can certainly jump higher than #14 can. He made a couple of baskets inside by posting up & getting the ball from an AIA guard. He also made a shooter for the other team back off from taking a shot. He passed off to a teammate resulting in a turnover. Coleby was definitely an inside presence defensively. I'm pretty sure AIA won the game, but can only guess as it as there was no scoreboard & the announcer didn't speak English.

I'm watching the replay. Kadeem had a nice follow dunk on a miss at around the 37:00 mark. http://www.livestream.com/AIABasketb...edium=ui-thumb

He makes a turnaround 5 footer at around the 1:18:40 mark. http://www.livestream.com/aiabasketb...edium=ui-thumb

It think that was only his second shot and make of the game.

He makes another inside shot at around the 1:19:00 mark.

AIA won 101-95. I think Kadeem was 3-3 from the field for 6 points. I could have missed some because I skipped over parts where he wasn't in the game.

Looks like he also converted a three-point play toward the end of the first vid. Let's call it 9 pts on 4-4 FGs, 1-1 FTs

Okay, I must have missed that one.

[Wuzee]

AIA appears to have played two games yesterday. In the second, against the Riga Barons, Kadeem had a great offensive game. Up around 15 points, I would think. The KSU kid didn't suit for that game.

They're tipping off at 9 a.m. today.
