I'm a big fan of his game, he's very underrated as I see it. Obviously, Perkins remains priority number one, but I would keep showing Isabell a lot of love because he is poised to breakout. -

Watched him play in state final lots of talent but takes bad shots and is very selfish tuns and tuns of talent. Very low basketball Iq great ball handler good shooterComment

Disagree quite strongly, except for the talent part. Only saw about half the title game, but based on that the worst I could say is that he can play a little schoolyard at times (think Pargo), questionable shot selection (fixable) but he's an excellent passer and plays well with the other kids.Originally posted by B LAKE ZAG View Post
A "very selfish" pg w/ a "very low basketball IQ" simply does not lead his team to the Metro League (best hs league in the northwest) title, a #1 ranking in 3a, and the state title game. And Tavio Hobson, who played for the great Phil Lumpkin, simply would bench him for the talented fr pg who backed him up if he played as you describe.
He's great at finding open shots for the 3 pt bomber on their team who is not a college prospect at all; doesn't have the body for it, just a good hs shooter. He makes that kid better by penetrating and finding him when the defense collapses, for just one example.
Thankfully, the GU staff has a better eye for basketball IQ than some on this board. His team didn't have half the talent of Rainier Beach, but they beat em.
If he's a fallback plan, he's a darn good one. Certainly not as you describe.Comment

Neither do you. Why not jump on the messenger, B Lake, not the reactor?Originally posted by vandalzag View PostComment

As a backup plan-- he seems like he would be ok.
Lots of mentions of UW players-- it seems like if UW wanted him-- he would be there in a hearbeat.Comment

I love it when people talk about low IQ and have multiple grammar and spelling errors in their posts.
Inconsequential in this case, but it does make me laugh.Comment

After watching the vids he definitely has some street ball to his game and could use some refinement, but what high school kid doesnt? if hes a good fit with the team then I see no problem having another scoring guard that can pass on the roster.Comment
