Siena would be incredibly lucky to have KH wear the green and gold... The great news for the family is that both boys have a LOT more than BBall in their lives.

Completely agree with the shooting, he absolutely would be Siena's best shooter right now. We all know if you can shoot like that someone will find a place for you. Fact is, and even Bob Cimmino would tell you this. He does not have a D1 player on his team. The only kid with even D1 potential is the freshman point guard who had 7 pts in the first half and then played all of 2 minutes in the second half (Bob's biggest mistake in the game) Not trying to knock KH at all would love to see him in a Siena uniform. But there is a lot to work on. Would love to see the box score today. I am guessing he had at least 6 turnovers. He absolutely did not handle the ball against THE PRESS in the second half,until his brother fouled out. He did handle it in their transition sets (and made two brilliant length of court passes) HJ I have a lot of respect for your high school player evaluations. You obviously see these players far more than me, as I don't live in the area. I am interested to see if Brentwood turns up the pressure at all today. Their coach was over in the section we sat in for part of the second half, and heard him talking about Shen's struggles with MV pressure. He has far better guards than Mount Vernon had, but they too will struggle with Shen's length Full court, man-to-man pressure, Kevin had to be the one to break it. His brother is next in line (that tells you how good the other guards are) to try and break it. The 1-2-2 full court zone press has to be handled by two guys going over the top of the front defender as they move up court. You have to realize, Kevin is really alone out there. It's the main reason the Hicks kid (#12-soph) played so much, because he never does. He did a great job of helping beat the pressure. Not denyngm this is one of Bobs worst MV teams I've ever seen, but they're still ultra-athletic and Shen isn't used to that. Brentwood has a few D-1 kids and will be a much bigger challenge for Shen, no question.

How did Anthony Lamb look? Anthony Lamb has good footwork in the post, but actually missed a few wide open bunnies off of nice post moves. He can shoot it to about 18 feet. The team that they played yesterday was by far the weakest A team. Interested to see him versus Scotia today. He was not overly impressive against South's big man. But the tools are definitely there

But he can certainly stroke it. Hard kid to get a read on. With some muscle and time, he has high upside. Like his game knowledge That’s what makes recruiting hard- you have to take KH skill set now, and remember he just turned 16- and project that 2 or 3 years down the road in D1 setting. No doubt KH has to work on his body and tighten up his handle – but when you are 6’5” and shoot like that you are gonna get some serious looks Do you think he will ba able to add a lot of mass to his body? To me he just looks like one of these long, rangy kids that doesn't really have the frame to add a lot of mass. I can't imagine that he is not already trying to add weight, and muscle to his body

Ray isn't a PG, but is a very explosive athlete that could contribute if he's improved his handle and 3-pt shooting.

Noticed that he doesnt go left much at all and is small for an off guard. He is explosive though. I could see him in the MAAC....that looks to be his level

Siena's current team has shown you don't need to be able to use both hands to be in the rotation. I think Jerome should be oin the radar.

Don't need any more MAAC level guys. We already have them. We need higher level players, other than Nico none yet.
