Who’s Zack Paulson?
Who’s Zack Paulson?
Either that team really takes care of the ball with a 22 to 0 assist to turnover ratio or they don't count turnovers in AAU ball??![]()

Thanks for the update on Brock. By the time he finishes his career at Gonzaga, he is going to be an Eastern Washington legend. I know a lot of folks on this board disparage him, in not a nasty way, but I am a believer. Of course, doesn't hurt to have Reborn and his input on the board. And I really appreciate his assessment. Brock is going to be a star! Book it!

NEW: 2019 Gonzaga Commit Brock Ravet Summer Highlights With Washington Supreme!
https://www.courtsidefilms.com/news_article/show/939615
He kind of reminds me of Dickau although I never saw Dan before he came to Gonzaga. He has a quick release, shifty feet, drives to the hoop and dishes pretty good too. There weren't any clips of defense, so couldn't judge that, and don't know how well Dickau played D in HS anyway.
Thanks for sharing. He will only get better.
Hoping you have a sense of humor too!
I think you are correct that he will get better, but I think the total amount of improvement that is possible will be far lower than for some other players.
I'm not basing that off Brock's focus, or intention, or work ethic, which I'm assuming to be excellent.
But since he is in the son of a long time coach and has been taught the game very early on and has been playing it in very organized leagues since he could barely dribble, he isn't nearly as "raw" as a super talented athlete who comes to the sport later in life. (and maybe who has experienced far less coaching and far fewer hours of drills/practice/film throughout high school years.)
A Rui, or Ayaayi, or Olynyk comes to the team as an 18yr old nowhere close to their own personal ceiling. Ravet is probably much nearer to his.

Quick release and killer instinct is good to have on the team, especially to motivate and push others.
Despite being a coaches son, Brock will have to learn to play in a system where he is not the only featured player and will have to learn to play hard nosed defense, if some of the other posters are correct.
I don't think any High School player has reached anything near their ceiling. There are just too many things that can be improved on, adjusted and embellished. If he has reached his ceiling, he will have trouble playing at Gonzaga.
Hoping you have a sense of humor too!
Do you feel this team is still on the same trajectory it was, in March 2017? Next year's team may have Zach Norvell and Brandon Clarke, to go along with Filip Petrusev and the junior year version of Corey Kispert. As well, they are making a play at Boogie Ellis, and they have Anton Watson coming in the same year. I guess I'm not seeing where Brock would be a featured player? If they thought Brock was a "featured" player, or had strong potential for it, do you think they are offering Boogie Ellis? It's possible, I suppose. But I think the confidence in Brock on these boards is probably the highest, as compared to other portions of Zagdom.
My magic 8 ball is not allowing me to see the future as clearly as some here-- so I will wait to see how Brock does this year and when he gets into college before I relegate him to the bench.
