[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 1003364, member: 4110"] I thought it was very telling that in the second half of the ACC slate, our opponents routinely spent a lot of defensive effort to deny George the ball, especially in transition. This was a huge show of respect to Nait George and it revealed unequivocally that opposing ACC coaches new the best way to defend Gt was to keep the ball out of the hands of George. I think that with both George and Ndongo, the speed of the game in their heads was ahead of their handles. In other words, their handling skills were behind what they wanted to do mentally. Usually, it is the opposite, most players being limited more between their ears than by their skills. I think this leaves both players with huge upsides. If both players can improve their handles, both will be even more of a headache for opposing teams than they were this year. Ndongo's quick-twitch moves are remarkable. If he can refine his handles and finishing ability on the drive he will be a face-up terror. He is just far quicker than most players his size. He is more polished as a back to the basket offensive player right now but I am not convinced that is where his ceiling is highest because I think he has more upside going around defenders than over them. Ndongo is also a cool customer. George has tremendous game IQ and Alvarado-level moxie. He will likely get stronger and if he can get his dribble closer to the floor it will really help his speed with the ball. Exciting upside for both players. [/QUOTE]
