    I'm pretty sure that was Semaj with the ball in his possession when the game was on the line for our last offensive play of regulation.

    Farr was the player of the game after the first half, and Philmore still started the 2nd half over him. Farr has earned the start, and as many minutes as he can stay out of foul trouble. It will be interesting to see who starts the next game, and how Philmore responds.

You can't teach 6'10" with his stroke and hands. He is pretty smooth with either hand and can snatch rebounds. He will be a great 4 year player and has an extremely bright future head of him. His weaknesses are his fouls, which he will overcome experience and coaching, and his quickness. When he learns to play defense with his feet he will stop fouling.
    I personally find him slow footed and that being one of his weaknesses. I don't think he has NBA level athleticism. That being said, he is going to be a good college player.

    Is his foot speed any worse than Roy Hibbert was at Georgetown?
    "He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

    Isn't Roy Hibbert two or three inches taller?

    Yes but he will make plenty of money overseas.

    I'm not talking about height though.

    No, but someone four inches taller doesn't need near the foot speed of the shorter man.

    True, but I don't think Roy ever sniffed 54% from 3.
