More notes on this game · 26 All prospects Darryn Peterson Cameron Carr Tounde Yessoufou
1:41 Carr not very confident off the dribble against Peterson's defense; settles for a contested deep three. 3:20 Carr obviously has the vertical pop, but missing a bit of core strength to get a cleaner look at the rim. Excellent job from DP to contain him. 4:10 Peterson just physically dominating Carr on this play to get a nice look. Major strength disparity. 5:39 Whoa. Ridiculous strength from DP for the and-1. Didn't think he'd get this one after drawing the foul. 7:14 He doesn't end up with the ball, but the combination of length, quickness and anticipation makes Peterson deadly in passing lanes. 8:40 Absolutely effortless stroke off motion. Gets his feet set before the pass arrives, straight into his shooting motion. 9:11 Again, DP so smooth coming off motion. 10:51 Nice pass from Carr, but it's obvious he doesn't want to put the ball on the floor around Peterson. 12:56 Carr gives up an uncontested blow-by. Very bad defensive possession. 13:25 Carr is very comfortable shooting off motion. Should be an NBA skill from him Day 1. 14:13 More brutal POA defense from Carr. This is supposed to be his role in the NBA. 14:47 Carr has the quickness to get a half-step on his man, but doesn't have the strength or craft to turn that into a good rim look if he doesn't get full separation. 20:11 He doesn't get the shot to fall, but I love how easily Peterson sheds Yessoufou, a future NBA player. 20:47 Peterson is so big to have this kind of handle. Watch how low he gets, and the strength for another and-1 finish. 22:12 The crossover combo into the push dribble, staying in total control for the floater....what a beast DP is. He turns 19 the day AFTER this game. 22:30 First time tonight Carr challenges Peterson off the dribble. Strong move, seeks content, strong finish. Good play. 27:23 Nice playmaking from DP. Has been more score-forward this game. 28:43 Same play as before. Watch Peterson's footwork turning the corner before making the dump-off for the lob. He makes this look easy but this is an insanely athletic play. 33:18 I'd like to see DP find the open man here. 33:39 Great hands by Peterson, again creating plays even when he isn't expected to. Carr's ball-handling a little shaky. 33:49 Basic pass, but worth noting how DP leads his man and puts it right in his hands, at considerable distance. 41:29 Watch DP palm the ball before blowing by for the layup. Bad defense but he makes defenses look bad. 43:39 He picks up the foul, but I like Peterson's awareness to slide over and help here. 46:32 Really good defense from a much bigger player in Yessoufou; Peterson unbothered. Stays strong, keeps pushing downhill, gets to his spot, cash. 58:36 Doesn't end up costing points, but I don't like how Carr gets beat flatfooted here. Happens quite a bit. 68:02 Carr gets dropped again 1:1 off the dribble. The on-ball defense is really just an idea right now.
