    First!

    DaJuan Coleman is a BIG boy. 6’8 and 240 at age 15? That’s just stupid growth.

    Another J. Smith? Why does everyone who has the last name smith have to call their kid something that starts with J?

  • Blinguo Posted: Aug.6 at 5:49 am
    Right Jack, (another 4 letter J name yourself – ironic but probably not Smith too right?), more Roscoe Smith’s would be pretty cool. But for typo reasons one Terrence is Caps and the other dude didn’t get his! And there’s a designer in there, Perry Ellis.

    Where is the Gatorade National Player of the year-Brandon Knight? He is declined due to his injuries?

  • O' Neil McFarlane Posted: Aug.6 at 10:29 am
    Where is the Gatorade National POY-Brandon Knight? Did he declined to participate due to his injuries?

  • Franklyn Calle Posted: Aug.6 at 12:52 pm
    I should point out that Brandon Knight was invited but will not play due to injury. Michael Gilchrist, the top ranked junior in the nation, was also invited but has decided not to participate.

    Proud of Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph…finally some Canadian blood!

  • chingy Posted: Aug.6 at 1:22 pm
    Also, Myck Kabongo can play (tho he didn’t get an invite to this camp/game)

  • Coach Wells Posted: Aug.6 at 2:27 pm
    Three kids from the Grassroots Canada AAU squad. Not bad at all. Canada doing it’s thing. Says a lot about the calibre of players in Coach Ro Russell’s program

  • Rio Adams Posted: Aug.6 at 4:56 pm
    Tony Wroten is about to dominate. Last year he was the only un selfish player on the court. Knight is a big time ball hog yo

  • Tresdad1 Posted: Aug.12 at 1:48 pm
    Three kids from Charm City (Baltimore)— Barton, Selby and Roscoe Smith!!!

  • Big Yo Posted: Aug.12 at 2:51 pm
    Keep an eye on Shelby and Barton. Young boys got alot of game and heart.

  • Cuse Watcher Posted: Aug.12 at 10:34 pm

  • JD Posted: Aug.19 at 6:06 pm
    no Reggie Bullock?

  • zach Posted: Aug.21 at 12:10 pm
    bout to see Harrison Barnes dominate. this game should be fun.

  • Robbie Gillies Posted: Aug.21 at 4:16 pm
    So apparently it’s going to pour. Would the game/dunk contest be rescheduled?

  • Montlake Madness · Good Chance to See Josh Smith and Tony Wroten on TV Today if… Posted: Aug.22 at 4:30 pm
