While watching the Wake Forest-Georgia Tech game last night I had a few random thoughts, so here they are:
-Chris Paul is a heck of an all-around player. His left hand looks better than last year and he seems to shoot with alot more confidence than early in the year. He struggled in the first half but then came back in the second half and completely took over the game, mostly with his passing. Paul may struggle a little in the NBA at first but his unparalled (in college) passing ability will more than make up for his initial defensive definciencies. He sees cutters and delivers the ball as good or better than TJ Ford used to and he is far ahead of where Ford was offensively as a sophomore.
-I always thought that Jamal Levy was from Panama City, FL not the capital of the country of Panama. Something about the name Jamal Levy didn't scream Central America to me.
-I only ever noticed Wake reserve forward Chris Ellis for his enormous dome and horrible cornrows and then last night Mike Patrick revealed that he is the son of former NBA sharpshooter Dale Ellis. Interesting, once I heard this I immediately thought of how painful it must be for Dale to have a son that is so offensively deficient...seriously, have you ever seen how ugly Chris Ellis' shot is?
-Does Wake Forest really have to play that horrible "Zombie Nation" song during every timeout? Did they lose their Macarena CD?
-Will Bynum is the embodiement of the word gunner. Damn that kid likes to shoot. If Bynum possessed any level of ability to get his teammates involved, then he would probably make himself a very nice living in the NBA. He is an unbelievable athlete and possesses great strength but even Troy Hudson can't believe some of the shots that this guy takes. Can you imagine him and Salim Stoudamire trying to share the ball if Bynum had stayed at Arizona? I would pay money to watch Lute Olson try and break up that fight, good money.
-Is the Wake Forest reserve named Visser the product of some torrid night in late march between Billy Packer and Lesley Visser? Can I at least pretend he is?
Oh yeah, I almost forgot...Sam Ryan from ESPN is much more attractive in person than you would think when watching her on TV. God I hope my girlfriend's internet is down today.
