Klavzar/Dupay

The highlights don't lie...and neither does the high level of competition.

Its a trap. Please don't get him started. We might still be discussing this even after the season is over.

 

But is he anywhere near as good as Glover?

 

Dupay was unreal in HS...lead the nation in scoring at 41.5PPG.

I was a 3rd team All County PG, and never sniffed 41 in a game. Hard to process that caliber of scoring, especially at 5-10.

Just pulled this up:

Teddy Dupay, who averaged 41.5ppg as a high school senior, once scored 29 points in the final 5 minutes of a game, scored 50 at half-time in another, connected on 13 3-pointers and scored 72 in 3 quarters of another game.

 

wowza, those are Big Dipper numbers

 

I once scored 15 points in the first two minutes of an intramural game. 3 for 3 from 3 and 3 for 3 from two just inside the arc playing against a team playing a bad zone.

I was the coach of the team and when the opposing called time out I said "Let's get in their head. I am subbing out. They will try to guard me and I will be on the sidelines."

LOL.

I never subbed back in.

 

Hence your name, Gator Lurker?!

I'm here all night, folks...Please tip the bartender on the way out. Cheers!

 

Frankly, I don't see a ton of similarity in their games. Dupay was just stone cold marksman from anywhere. Off the bounce, ball screen, catch and shoot, transition. He was taking 30+ foot shots before Curry!

From what I've seen of Klavzar, but the best comparison I've heard (maybe here?) was his Dragic with a stepback. He is not afraid to get downhill and score or get fouled. He also creates most of his perimeter shots, but doesn't have outrageous range. Will set up his teammates, but definitely looks to score first. That stepback is lethal, though.

 

My kid once pointed out that if Dupay had an off night and only got 20, he had to get 63 the next game to keep his average up.

I had once had 32 in a HS game in Florida, against a large school in the highest classification. That required taking a lot of shots. Hard to imagine averaging 41.5.

 

Did you know that Teddy's teammate on those Mariner teams was Earnest Graham.

 

Dupay was more of a stone shooter at the college level. Klavzar seems to me to be a more score focused J Williams, just in terms of body movement styles. Klavzar has that quick twitch movement where Dupay was more of a glider

 

He was a baller. Really hurt the USA 3x3 Olympic squad with him out. IIRC he was the highest rated 3x3 player internationally.

 

Dupay made the pass to Skinny in the Butler game. He wasn't just a shooter.
