Was front and center for today's opening round. Saw Alessandro Alberto, Brandon Randolph and Isaiah Bailey play. I'll post some quick observations on each.
Alberto : Not much to report, unfortunately. Fresh off the academically ineligible list, he was very rusty. Sat out the first half of Taft's game against Lake Washington. Came in to the game in the second half, picked up a quick foul, missed a shot, and had some unforced errors with turnovers. Would like to see him again to get a better evaluation.
Randolph : Like this kid. Very athletic, good jumper/rebounder for his size (Listed at 6'3".) Came off the bench for Playa Del Rey which has a pretty solid starting backcourt. Next year, Randolph will be the starting PG, as the Vikings graduate almost every other guard on the roster that played meaningful minutes today. Very good passing the ball today, struggled a bit with his perimeter shot, had some bad bounces. All in all, good looking prospect. Excited to see where he is a year from now.
Bailey : Only a sophomore, this kid really impressed me. Needs to add some weight, but he's still filling out in his young age. Has some quickness, had a few nice drives to the basket today. Liked him the best out of all our reported "targets." Didn't have a ton of help offensively today against a very stout Archbishop Mitty team, led by Drew Gordon's little brother, Aaron.
Post questions if you have any, I'll do my best to answer them. Saw a lot of basketball today, some of which is a blur.
