Just saw Creighton vs Cincinati game that just passed.
- Mcdermott is hounded like crazy every possession. Still got 25 points but he had trouble getting free just to get passes. Also was blocked a few times inside. Like many draft expert stated , he will prob be like a kyle korver in the nba. A 3 point specialist, though i feel he has enough skills to throw his man off balance with an inside post/cutting game. I wonder how he would perform with a legit first pass pg? or not being the #1 option in the nba.
- Dieng the past two games, has been playing in the shawdows of russ smith and siva. I think he is perfect in fg percentage too, though only scoring like less than 10 points each game. Has only like 3 rebounds each game also. He moves like a freight train, in that once he is in motion he is pretty quick for his height. But anything in between, he is pretty avg, especially side to side movements. I just smell too much Melo part 2 with Dieng.
- Withey . I've liked this guy ever since he put a number on sully last year. He doesn't need to score a bucket to be effective. His shot blocking capabilites alone would be a big help for us. But unlike Melo who is also a good shot blocker, withey just moves so much better around the court, doesn't make too many mistakes and has better hands. Even if he has an o/s tourney i don't think he will get picked below 20. But i do think he will be ideal pickup for the celts. Think of Jeff Foster but not as good rebounder but a better shot blocker and shooter.
