Yeah but that Wingfield guy was the best frosh I have ever seen. I would take freshman Wingfield over Sophmore Clark.

lol ... prisoner of the moment much? I am a huge Clark fan , but Max was a starter and a a main component of 4 tournament teams, including a number 1 seed tournament team. Oh yeah, and a 10+ year NBA vet and first round draft pick. Lets slow down a little bit here.

Max had better coaching and talent around him. He struggled like Clark against the big boys though. Even got outplayed by smaller Hayes in his last game. Max or hicks wouldn't been allowed to be themselves with mick. Clark has skills no four ever at uc ever had. He can shoot, rebound, pass, dribble, run, average d, blocks. I could see him getting triple double every game next year if conditioning improved.

Yeah I left him and fortson off on purpose. Wingfield and Johnson are our highest rated recruits ever. Wingfield probably Huggins best player ever

I just wanted to post this to remind everyone of Gary's athletic ability. He is doing some ridiculous things in this video. Obviously the competition is low but it's amazing how he is flying to the hoop. Is it just me or do we hardly see this from him now.

I'm not saying he is out of shape now at all because he is putting up great numbers. But he always seems gassed. Hands on hips, sucking wind.

Just interesting looking back.

I feel like lots of big guys get gassed easily as underclassman. I bet we'll see explosive plays more often from him the next 2 years.

If you complied a highlight reel of Gary this year, it would be equally impressive. I'm sure in HS he had to give little to no effort on the D side of the court and he was by far the superior athlete on the court. Did you see the size of the kids he was playing against?

Gary is a monster and will continue to develop.

I think the next step in his game will be he'll now have to learn how to handle a double team nearly every time he gets the ball, all the more reason for Mick to put guys on the court around Gary that can knock down shots.

I mentioned at all star game he played in high school how he was always last man down court and lack of explosiveness against best of best. It's more confidence issue I believe than conditioning. Gary probably NEVER been to a city until he started playing aau, almost like he's from another country the way he carries himself. Just seems so shy

Pretty sure he was tripled and doubled teamed in middle school. He needs gets a lil stronger with ball but he rarely fumbles and bumble with ball

I agree. To me were comparing apples and oranges.here. Those mentioned were the most feared defenders in the league. They swatted jumpers while they were in the lane. Noone got cheap buckets on CATS for years. We're comparison g offense to defense. But honestly I'd take any of the pre mentions intensity and nastiness over Gary right now. Maybe he'll turn into K-Mart. One could only hope. Hell I could add a long list of guys that I'd love to see a player play like them again. 2 quick one I-MAC (ALL TIME FAV) and Mickael
