The next Damon Bailey?

Studying the tape now.

Give me a few minutes.

The highlight tapes can be deceptive.

I'd love to see how he'd play/respond against older competition.

Not impressed with his body.

Most NBA players were dunking at age 14 and there were no dunks on the homemade video.

Narrow shoulders, light in the cakes and only modest speed.

I appreciate his connections and his ability to promote himself but I would not invest in him if he were listed on a future player exchange.

Time will tell.

2006 NBA MVP never dunked in his life, was also light in the cakes

Nash had only one college scholarship offer.

Imagine the HORSE games featuring Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki in the early 2000's in Dallas.

Two of the best NBA shooters ever.

I remember rookie Steve Nash getting schooled by veteran John Stockton.

Took a few years before Nash rose to prominence.

I downgrade players if their highlight film consists of only trash AAU highlights. Undisciplined, no-defense situations. I want players that can play within a system to help the team instead of trying to build their portfolio to drop out of school to be a "pro" playing overseas.

I like JK's breakdown of elite talent stating that great 8th grade talent is already playing above the rim. He has a ways to go to play near the net.

I'd pass.

I attended an AAU game at the Tarkanian Center in Las Vegas many years ago.'

Two notes: 1) I was surprised how many big-name college hoop coaches were in attendance and 2) Shocked there was little or no attention paid to the score of the game.

The AAU games in Las Vegas were more about showcasing individual talent in a controlled scrimmage than promoting team play or game situations.
