You do realize Scotlandville beat McKinley by 20 earlier this year. If you're going to troll, at least be knowledgeable

Rematches do not always lead to the same results.

I've seen Smart play about 10 times this year. The Walker game was a decent indication of what his true talents are. He shared the ball more than usual and created shots for team. I wouldn't call him a great shooter, he scores a lot finishing drives at rim and shoots a ton of free throws. I really do not see him playing w Waters at same time much next year (basically same strengths). Hes a very good player but I don't think will be a One and Done. Its key for WW to keep 2/3 of this class for at least 2 years going forward.

Well I would assume Waters is going to average 28 or so minutes...for our sake, they better play together

I think Reid is really the only 1 and done we signed. He's got the full package from physical size to skill level and talent the NBA will drool over.

Williams is probably next up, but being only 6'7 and mostly a close to basket player it's going to be tough for him to be lottery level after just 1 year in college. I think he's at least a 2-year player.

Agree that Smart is at least a 2-year college player. He has the size and skillset but not being a polished shooter quite yet will hold him back some. He does really fit that scoring PG role NBA teams love though.

Days is a 4-year guy IMO.

Smart and Waters will play some together. Smart, Waters and Mays will rotate that 1 and 2 spot to always have 2 ball handlers on the floor IMO. It's what Wade really likes and completely neutralizes those pressing teams like Arkansas.

Rematch is on this week and then St Paul's will be waiting in the championship game to take the title from Scotlandville

You guys were right and I got that one wrong.
Smart is great. Scotlandville was killer. Final score could have been worse too.
Carlos is a great coach and runs an Elite program.
