Andre kicks off the Rocky Top HS League in East Tennessee this week. I know it is football season but hey, we can still enjoy a little hoop action. Any thoughts on teams and players in the league?

I tell you what I love what Andre does for kids and Rocky Top is a good thing but I am amazed at how many kids go into these things trying to blow up themselves instead of working their craft tobget better. Saw a point guard today go 1-12 and the one was a razzle dazzle dippy doo that went in. Cmon kids if you are a point guard show how you run a show and distribute the ball. Just an example. Work your craft all the points of it. Show me a point guard that scores more than he creates and most the time I will show you a 500 team or worse

You are exactly right 12thman. The lack of basketball IQ is scary. I think after watching several teams play, both Hunter Reynolds (CAK) and Luke Smith (Catholic) get it as a PG. I've seen way to many of those guys going 1-12 from outside without trying to do anything different. Even if you are a good shooter, you've got to recognize when it's just not your night from outside. There are plenty of other ways to help your team. I understand trying to work on some weaknesses during a fall league but at crunch time you better revert to your strengths if you want to win. I'm not sure how much of the problem is coaching related but there is way to much emphasis on athleticism vs. basketball skills.

Hunter and Luke are my two favorites in Knoxville. They both get it! Luke is a rare one in that he might actually score more than he dishes night in night out, but I am ok with that when his over all game is as good as it is. He knows how to play and I don't think he has many 1-12 nights. He dials it back if his shot isn't there. Like Connor though, if his shot is on, he is going to keep it rolling. Hunter is just a great kid with a great coach and I really hope both those guys stay healthy all year. But I hope GCA wins 4.......LOL.......Go Rams....CJ ain't too bad up top either......
