1. When was the last time we had a player, who could dribble penetrate and finish with stud duck power? Well, maybe never. I saw a man-machine today and I could not believe my eyes.
This guy is 6-6, 220 and all man. He is quick and powerful. He went left and he went right. It did not matter. No one could stop him one on one. His ball handling skills were so damn impressive, when compared to last year.
This same guy was shooting spot up jumpers and pull up jumpers from 16'-18' and they were going in the hole.
He was an absolute monster.
There was a transformation going on right before my very eyes.
His name is Ramon Clemente.
I know. I know. You are wondering about hyperbole. Ask Cowboy. There is none on this very day.
2. Reggie Chamberlain can flat out play. He is in excellent shape. He is very clever with the ball. Some of his no look passes are hand breakers and knee bucklers. Plus, he is a very fine shot.
3. So far, Murry and Kyles have not impressed with their outside shot. Clearly, Kyles is very athletic. He has a long stride, which enables him to really eat up the floor.
4. Kerry said Garrett's weight as of today is 236#. Garrett had a little trouble finishing today. We will have to wait and see.
5. EO looks much more comfortable, since I saw him last. I lost count of the blocks. I am not sure how the refs will call the body contact.
He took a 12' shot. I hope a video of it does not show up on U-Tube.
6. Remeber Craig Steven? Well, his little brother was there. He did not play, even though he wanted to play. Without even seeing him play, I can safely report the game is way above his head.
7. The point guard problem is fixed as they say in the south. Actually, the problem is solved.
8. Play was much less ragged than the last time I saw them play.
9. Reggie Plano was not there. I was very disappointed.
10. JT was an instructor for the camp. I watched him on the floor, when he was instructing the young boys. Damn, he has a nice frame.
JT is a wild card.
11. Mantas said he will start playing in mid-August. He looked fit.
12. Rap music was wired into the sound system for the entire time I was there. For fear of offending, I will not tell you what I thought about it.
13. Wendell was there. This will sound harsh. He could just not play with the other guards. He did make one really nice drive in traffic to the basket, but it was his only eye catching play.
14. Aaron, Graham, A.J. and Mantas did not play.
When the season begins, some opposing coaches are in for a rude awakening by Ramon Clemente. What they see on last year's game film is not what they are going to get this year.
Last year, I was not particularly a big Clemente fan. I have changed my tune. He just is not the same player. Virtually all big men will not be able to guard him on the dribble. I wish all of you could have seen, what I saw today.
