Real Sasquatch 1,865 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Good road win for the G-men. Graham is much improved since early in the season, playing some good ball right now. Kaleb Morgan is stepping up as a 3rd offensive threat for Graham, which has been badly needed. I enjoyed watching them today, they are playing with better "flow" and are passing the ball much better then early on. Credit to their coaches for bringing them along, they have had a tough schedule. I think they win out in the SWD and keep their undefeated district streak in tact for another year, if they continue to play like they did today.

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 If Graves keeps going for 30+ every night, no SWD team will be that close and they'll be a very tough out in the 2D tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key for Graham is the development of Kaleb Morgan and the rest of the supporting cast. Graham now seems to have a 1,2,3 punch rather then just a 1,2 punch. Still not enough to make a run at Region D, but you are right, they will be a tough opponent if they play this well come tourney time.

pdfan 101 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Which one was Morgan? Bradshaw was quick as lightning, but was really just an excellent athlete not a really a skilled basketball player. #30 looked like the second best player on the team to me. He was smooth around the basket and played good D against the Martinsville center. Bodied him up real well. Haven't seen Kirby miss that many short jumpers all year. Graham just jumped on us quick and Graves didn't let us make a run. When Kirby(#4 for the Dogs) fouled out halfway thru the 3rd quarter you could see all the air come out of the Dogs. All the credit in the world to Graham though, with a short bench today they just came into Cleveland Ave gym and smack us in the mouth.

But he had 30+ against VHS in a close game, and believe he scored 30+ against Marion in game one but I could be wrong. The point was if Graves continued to pour in 30+ points every game, Graham can beat anyone in 2D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew what you were referring to. He is averaging around 28 to 30 points per game right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union isn't deep either, they play six guys, seven if there's foul trouble so they aren't a deep bunch either. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure any top 2D team goes more than eight deep. Graves is likely the leading scorer in 2D. Bunch has had some big scoring nights but also some lower nights while it seems like Graves always over 25.

GC held Graves to 12 last year and outside of scoring he doesn’t bring a whole lot to the table….give me Bunch 10/10 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe he's better than Bunch, just that he scores at a higher clip. With his size, Bunch can guard almost any position and. Can play inside and out.

I figure Bunch is in the low 20s per game. Science Hill likely bumped that average up a bit, scoring 34. Bunch will almost certainly repeat as 2D POY.
