Cliff is 15 for his last 15

[RU848789]

He's always had a high shooting %, given all the dunks, but 6-6 last night, 6-6 on Saturday vs. MSU, plus he made his last 3 shot attempts in the NW game. That's pretty freakin' impressive and they weren't all dunks. My favorite was probably last night's post move, where he used his left hand and the glass, which he really needs to learn how to do better; he also made 2 jump shots and, of course, 3 dunks (one of the quickest jumpers from floor to dunk I've seen). If he can add post moves where he is accurate from inside 8 feet and keep improving his 12-15 foot jump shot, I think he'll make it to the NBA, especially with his footspeed and athleticism. Excited to see continued improvement next season.

Cliff is quickly improving. Sky is the limit for that guy.

He had a nice turnaround bank shot from the right side too. And his foul shooting is a definite plus for a big. Great to see his confidence soaring, and love how he rises to the challenge against top teams.

The drop step was first seen a few games ago. Love it. Looks much better than his line drive hooks

He had TWO jump hooks off the glass last night, one right handed and the other left handed.

Combined with his mid-range jumper and, of course, his ferocious dunks, he's really developing quite a little repetoire.

Mark my words: he WILL hit a 3-pointer this year during a game.

Physical size/strength? Check
Talent? Check
Work Ethic? Check

There is no question he will spend most of his 20 something years making money playing basketball.

What is he for jumpballs?

It feels like he's 22-1

And he's 18 of his last 19 after missing a 3PA mid-way through the first half at Northwestern.

Over the last 5 games he's been 29/39 (.744)
