HOUSTON YATES # 6 IN THE NATION
shorttexas1 replied to CATMAN's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
Texas has two teams in the top ten!! Duncanville is number 4! -
Everybody thinks Bosh dominated Perk and that is just not true.. There stats cancelled the other out. Perk had 21 pts, 12 rebs, 5 blocks; and Bosh had 25 pts., 10 rebs, and 7 blocks. But Bosh's plays did look prettier because he was so athletic! The guards won that game for Lincoln and loss it for Ozen!
-
The chron only shows double digit scorers so thats why it only shows 7 scorers. But the wildest thing is that Anthony Jones, thier big time 6'10" recruit did not score double digits!! :-\ So they have a possible 20 pts. left on the table!
-
Yates is relentless with the press and they can't play any other way... Kinda like the old Wheatly teams... The score doesnt matter neither the quarter....
-
No you don't get influenced by your position... Big man tell me this: Who got the ball to the bigs in a position to score, who broke the press, who ran the fast break, who got the long rebound, who got the steals, drive the lane and draw the defense, who set the offense, shot the ball so that you could rebound, who stopped the ball to cut off the diving lanes and who played help side D so yo big butt would get in foul trouble? What did the big do for the guard: rebound, make high percentage shoots (slams & layups), block shots, clear the lane for drives, and set picks. 10 to 5 looks like the guard wins!
-
I will give you a team with Shaq and Olajuwon and give me MJ and J-Kidd and I will promis a victory!
-
TJ can play in the half court and the open court!
-
TJ Ford hands down... He can make a team look wonderful... His will alone could get a team to state!

If you could pick one coach and one player...

Great points... And I agree... I know Willie is atheletic and 6'7"-6'8" ish but he is not that dominant big that you can ride to state! I have a vested interest in the kid so you can't say I am just putting him down but I am telling the truth. He is already a senior so there will be no more growth of his game and he has too many gaps to be a big you ride to state. He is a great kid with even better Defense but his offesive game just is not there... TO prone, not a good free throw shooter, and only has lay-ups and dunks in his arsenal. Hi hustle will shadow those flaws until he meets a kid his size or taller in the Play offs.... On the other hand Gulley 6'4" and Frank 6'2" are exceptional guards that still have growing to do... You can have them for more than one year so they will have time to grow with the team and and everyone around them will have a chance to get better. Now if I had to put a team together willie would definuitely be my 3rd pick after I solidify my backcourt but I would not start with him. Lets just say I would like to have Skip and Dubie; Bracey Wright and Deron Williams; TJ Ford and Daniel Ewing, Daneil Gibson and Harrison Smith!!!!!! -

In that case I guess kobe better stay away from earl boykins!!! boykins will expose him when he drbblies.... LMAO... Same goes for Carmelo 6'8", Lebron 6'8", Durant 6'10", McGrady 6'8", Rashard Lewis 6'8", Stevie Jackson 6'8", Vince Carter, 6'6", Jamal Crawford 6'6", Ginolbi 6'6", Stack House 6'6" Lamar Odom 6'11", and my favorite Micheal Jordan 6'6"... You better ask Dickie V how easy it is to rip Perk 1-on-1 drbbliing... He is not even the best player on the NBA level but I have watched him make little guards look silly on the dribble. But you say Earl Boykins will expose all of the if they would just dribble... Just because you are tall doesn't make you easy to rip! -
Daddy is to blame!

Even though Breck was 6'4" *close* he had PG ability and could have taken some of the load off of Chappell too. Could you imagine Perk, KT(who should have been the wing), Dab, Breck, and Chappell... You all might have one! -

I am not denying that bigs are important... They are!!! But a big body can be thrown in there anytime (go get that big kid with a little athleticism and just put his big but in there) and a Big in High school could be 6'4" and be a beast... The skill is in the guards in high school! -

Don't forget about Breckinridge... He played some point for us that summer... If it were not for injury he would have made that team so much stronger! -

Not mad... I'm just stating my case and credible info... There have been more state finalist with no good bigs then there has been with great bigs! -
Those kids like the opportunity to show case their talents... They are probally relieved that they have an opportunity to shoot now... They have been more competitive without him and the kids are getting better. They actually make lay-ups now.... I wish Brown the best on the next level.... But this was needed to humble him.

Not guards who can dribble and know the game... Just because you are 6'6" guard that doesnt mean that you can't dribble! -

Dickie... You are a coach.... Tell me which dominates the high school game... Guard play or Bigs? Don't forget the Wheatly, Dallas Lincoln, PA Lincoln, Dunbar, SA Jay, Kountze, SOC, Willowridge (which had bigs but we know it was all about TJ, Ewing, K. Taylor) and teams that won on their guard play... The one year Ozen won it all they had great guards with Mike at the helm... Big Perk, Dab, & KT could not win it all against a Dunbar team that only had one big and he was 6'4" and 4 guards and a Lincoln team that had Bosh and 4 little guards. -

Dickie is right! The Highschool game is a guard game but Highschool guards for the most part are short... Height is big in basketball so those great little guards don't trancsend to college and the pros... That's y scholarships are there for all the guards. Just look at the state tourney... There have been 4 bigs (5A - 4A) to get MVP in the last ten years and the rest are guards. Perk, Arthur, Boddicker, and Bosh... There rest were gards! -
SO! ???

The Highschool game is a guards game... Everyone knows that!!! : Every year its the teams with the best guards that win.... So reguardless of the freak in the middle you have to be able to get the ball up court and into the offense and pressure the ball down court to eliminate lanes and opennings to the basket. And Soulja.. one and done doesn't build a program... Take the talent and teach them to be great... take the early bumps and scratches and have a well developed player by their senior year. If Tremain is one and done then you can't BUILD a team around him... The post said BUILD a NEW team with a NEW coach! Soulja... You my dude but I agree to Disagree on this one! ;D -

Boutte and Jamar Gulley!!! Boutte is prolific at getting the best out of his talent and will use Jamar in the paint on smaller defenders as well as his off the ball skillz.. Gulley is a 6'4" BIG guard with quick hands and good skills (and tremendous upside)... And he is a Junior so Boutte will have two years to win with this kid Runner up is Southerland and DeCarlos Frank! Southerland is known to play a runnig style that fits guards perfectly. In this system DeCarlos should flurish because he can free style a little. And the kid is a Sophmore giving Southerland three years to win with him.
