I agree with you baller. Some people may say well he had 21 so he was hoggin the ball. Well the kid probably only missed 5-8 shots all night and most of those were in the 4th. He is a clutch player and hits the big shots at the right time. If P-burg could have gotten him, and kept Bentley, there wouldn't be anyone that could come close to P-burg in this region. But s*** happens I guess.

He does shoot a lot, But, what amazes me is his poise for a freshman. He also has some pretty good hang time, can change his shot in mid air, can handle the ball, is very tough, ............................I could go on and on :lol: :lol: :lol:
Can't wait til we see him in 3 years. Can't wait til we see Paintsville in 3 years. Remember, Van Hoose, Grimm, and Bundy are no slouches.

Yes Jkwon you are right. He tends to shoot a bit much even when he is struggling. I think when you are struggling, you need to give the ball up more than he did against P-burg. He is a young player and he will learn to do that with time. Other than that he is a great player.

This kid is amazing as of now he is my POY i think he is better than what bentley ever thought of being at this age
03-08-2005, 05:37 PM
he is an excellent ball player but he is jus a step ahead of jacob bryant, daniel harmon( 8th grader plays alot like landon actually) and mark bartley

If they are just a step behing Landon (which would make them batter than Bentley, Friend, and Tackett) then why don't they get to play any? :roll:

Glad to see you changed your mind about Landon bcf4l :wink:

Landon is simply incredible...the kid loves basketball and i know how much this game meant for him....to lose really hurt but he still has three more years and he will be playing with a lot of ppl his age, so look out for Slone and the Tigers, they will be something special, if Slone can keep this us
Does anyone know how many points he finished the season with?

Landon would have averaged 40 a game in JV, Paintsville wouldn't have even lost a JV had these freshmen been playing.

Landon is an incredible player and he's a freshman. IMO better then the majority of the upperclassman in the region. He may take a ton of shots, but rarely ever misses. If I was a ball player and I'm sure a ton of people could agree - if my team gave me the ball that many times a game, and the coach and players let me shoot without having a problem with it... I WOULD SHOOT IT!! He's led they're team to MANY victories and without him IMO the tigers wouldn't have played in the regional tournament last night. He's got 3yrs. left and he and Paintsville will be a major threat in the 15th for the next 3 years.
03-08-2005, 06:24 PM
this kid....wow....amazing...IMO, he has great potential to go D1 after HS...id like to see this kid play for UK someday. he played amazingly last night...51 against the best tema in the region right now...good game kid..better luck next season
03-08-2005, 06:37 PM
If he can grow maybe 3 inches he will be major D1 material.

If Slone is just a step ahead of them it is one helluva GIANT step.IMO
03-08-2005, 08:23 PM
Slone is a HUGE step ahead of the others that were mentioned his age, hell he is a step above some sophmores and juniors
the only thing he lacks right now is experience and that is what this year has given him...Slone to me is definately D1 material, i look to see him playing in the sweet 16 a couple times before he graduates and to be signed by a mjor college (hopefully UK)

Glad to see your opinion of the kid has changed.

IMO the best player in the region
03-09-2005, 01:09 AM
slone is deffinetly top 5 in the region as a freshman thats scary............................watch out 15th when hes a senior
03-09-2005, 02:59 AM
that was an incredible performance last nite, to do that as a freshman is unreal. Congrats to the boy, keep it up.
03-09-2005, 05:36 AM
Ya know, I'm sure these guys you mentioned are real good and all, but I'm pretty sure they don't compare to Landon, he is unreal... and yes Landon is a better player than Kristofer looking at their freshmen years... Bentley wasn't a threat to drive the ball until a few games into his junior season... Slone will take it to you and penetrate all night long.

I had heard the hype about him for about a week before I could see him play. I kept thinking, there is no way a freshman could do the things people are saying. Well, I was wrong. I have now had privilege to see Slone as well as the privilege to see this Paintsville team dominated by freshmen, at least 17 times this year.
This team is very fun to watch. They all play hard and leave everything on floor each night.
It has amazed me all year watching Slone. He has shown me something different each night. Some kind of stutter, move, dribble, or something defensive.
I'm going to enjoy watching the Tigers for the next 3 years. Better call Lex Vegas and get Motel rooms for the next 3 years in March.

I agree whiz, I believe he uses the pump fake down low better than anyone. Get's the defender up in the air and moves his body around him or draws the foul. Very intelligent for a Frosh.

Yes he is so outstanding, i look for him to go straight to the NBA and be an instant success. LEBRON who?? :roll: :roll:
Well 51 in a game is a very excellent performance, but they still LOST so it doesnt really mean jack, i mean last time i heard it was a team game and the big W is what matters.
I expect some turmoil in paintsville in the next few years. Every one of those guys will be fighting over the ball. Id be surprised to see them win 1 region if that, but i guess as long as slone gets his 30 its alright.
Anyone heard of Ervin 1,2 Stepp he averaged 40 + a game but look what his team did, nothing. He ended up going to alice lloyd, scoring is not what these college coaches want to see. Its who can make their team better and win games.
