Outside of the UK recruits I was very impressed with Beal(Florida) and Rivers(Duke). I too was surprised by how much defense was played in this game, usually known for lack it's lack of defense. Everyone looked solid and deserving of their all-American status. And the kid going to Texas I think it's Kabongo looked like the fastest PG in the class.
As for the UK recruits I will start with Wiltjer. He proved he can shoot the 3 by winning the contest a few days ago and tonight he
looked good with some nice low post moves. Even showed an old Hakeem the Dream hookshot. Looked good for the most part offensively. However I noticed he has very slow feet which might be due to the fact he is flat footed. And this looked like it hurt him defensively guarding quicker bigs and the pick and roll. Teague looked very quick with the ball and made a couple nice plays. I think his decision making was questionable a couple times, but he should be a stud. I would have liked to seen him shoot a little more. Davis made highlight reel plays on both ends of the court blocking shots and dunking the ball. The only negative I noticed about Davis was that he got pushed around alot in the post. He needs to put on some weight and hit the weight room hard this summer. Finally Gilchrist might not have wowed anyone with his play, but he can do it all. He might have been the most unselfish player on the court and still had 16 points. This kid has all the skills and could probably play in the NBA next season.
