This is also a perfect time to get a look at my Undrafted Gems.

During the tournament, Morey was tweeting most about Norfolk State. I just assumed he was watching Kyle because he is the star on that team.

 

Tiny plane leaving NYC headed to Portsmouth looks like a basketball convention. Agents, NBA scouts, mock drafters galore. First game at 7pm

00 Sims, Henry c
01 Murphy, Kevin g
02 Moore, Ramone g
03 Walker, Erving g
21 Glover, Michael -
22 Voiles, Bryant -

I'm gonna go with the Portsmouth Sports Club. That O'Quinn/Sims tandem is just to tempting.

 

Nice find. He will go up against one of my undrafted pics, PG Jorge Gutierrez, today.

 

Wow! Both Guteirrez and Sanders had bad games. Jet Chang had a good game though.

In the last game of the night, Kim English with Portsmouth Partnership had a good game and the win. Dumans team lost, but....wait for it....JaMychal Green went off!!!!

Another kid to keep an eye on is Rakim Sanders for the K&D Rounds Landscaping team. He has had two good games so far, although they were losing efforts.

Very cool view here in Portsmouth, VA - "the best natural deep water harbor in US" http://instagr.am/p/JXutR5q2SP/

chillin:grin:

 

A few things from yesterdays games and todays earlier game. Mostly about the players mentioned in the thread.

Rakim Sanders is a baller! His team is out though with three straight losses.
3 games: #1: 14pts, 8rbs/ #2: 18pts, 11rbs/ #3: 26pts, 7rbs shooting 60%!! A currently undrafted SG!

O'Quinn and Sims are playing well together as a big man duo. They are 2-0 with a game today.
O'Quinn: #1: 18pts, 12rbs/ #2: 9pts, 11rbs
Sims: #1: 12pts, 7rbs/ #2: 10pts, 10rbs

 

Now DX's updated mock has O'Quinn in the draft as a low 2nd round pick.
