If you check out Twitter, Jarred Vanderbilt has been one of the 2 or 3 most impressive players on the US team during scrimmages.

Playing the point forward role, hitting jumpers, making great passes. Of course tonight, he'll either look like crap or barely get to play. Starters are supposed to be Bamba, Carter, Porter, Trent, Jr, and Duval.

Not hitting jumpers has been his problem. If he can become consistent the sky is the limit.

Nice of them to start four future Dukies in the same lineup.

They did the same thing at the McDs game, Bamba was on first team for East with Carter, Knox, and Duval. All the UK guys were on second team, although Washington did switch out and play with first squad some. Coach of that McDAA East team just happened to be Grayson Allen's high school coach. Hmm.

I'm not sure the Hoops Summit lineup is as obviously, egregiously pro-Duke, since that is probably just the five best guys, although you could argue Sexton over Trent, Jr.. Coach of that team is Miles Simon, assistant coach is the Dematha coach Mike Jones. I think Quinn Cook played for him. We haven't gotten a Dematha kid in a while - since Bogans maybe? Fultz played there and supposedly grew up a UK fan, and ends up at Washington.

BTW - I still kind of think Duval is playing Duke, and he'll end up at Zona, KU, or overseas.

It's stereotypes like this that make me hope he goes along with it and wears a red, yellow, and green headband with a pot plant for a logo on the very front of it, and come up with his own Johnny Manziel'esque shtick to go along with it.

I hope he pulls out a 2 foot water bong and blazes at center court. Takes a huge hit and blows it in the ref's face and then proceeds to have 20 points and about 15 boards to go along with about 8 blocks. That would be epic.

Bamba with strong rebound, getting roughed up. Porter made a sick move but missed the finish.

Nick just picked up his second foul. Was a tad foul prone in H.S as well. Will probably be that way for half of next season ala Bam before he learns not to be

About what I suspected. Vanderbilt one of the three most impressive guys in scrimmages this week, and he is the last guy off the bench. He and Green are only players who haven't seen the floor yet.
