Yeah Tre Mann was a fun watch as well. He's another one that took a leap once he got to the league. I still believe he could start in the league for the right team.
Wasn't he suspended for the first 2-3 games? What was the reason for the suspension again, for some reason I can't recall.
he played in the Portsmouth Tournament, which is a NBA scouting event before he decided to play one more year of college.
I love that little "shoulder fade" from the left and sometimes from the right, mid range jumper he has. Deadly!!!
He would probably average 3+ more points per game too if the refs would actually call fouls when he drives for layups. Multiple times a game he is shaking his head in disbelief that they didn’t call anything.
I call him the quiet man. He lets his actions speak for him. I don't even think he trash talks the opponents during games.
He puts immense pressure on the opposing team because of his pacing. I used to be so frustrated by Lofton’s casual and slow pace. Rarely attacked the opponent’s transition defense. Even if the other team gets back, you need to probe and threaten all game. Don’t let them just relax into the half court defensive set. Clayton and Richard also do it. This team pushes the ball and is relentless.
Nembhard, Calathes and, of course, White Chocolate were passing savants. Pullin's superpower is incredible ball security and making the making the right, usually simple, pass. He's doing that to perfection. As much as I enjoy watching the passing savants, just making the obvious, simple pass will get you all you really need 90% of the time. My reaction to watching Pullin's first Gator game was that my stress level over our team's ball security had dropped considerably. Glad to see that he's carrying through on that. Brilliantly!
His defense seems to go completely unnoticed. He locked down Jalen Brunson in the first half last night.
Yep, Pullin is constantly probing with the ball, esp. in transition. As you say, it puts tremendous pressure on the D. So fun to watch.
