I watched this past tournament’s Sweet 16 game with Arizona and Clemson last night just to get an idea of Kylan’s play. I was pleasantly surprised.
He, by the way, was great on defense. He had at one time forced the ballhandler with hand checks so confused that he traveled and another time he was switching off on defense and had to guard their center Hall, and he slapped the ball away for a turnover as Hall was using booty ball to back down Kylan to try to score. There was only one time where his offensive players scored against him and it was on a three. I saw the whole game.
Arizona was pretty solid on offense but he ran the show, he is very very unselfish and he is a great passer. He is a general on the floor, but was having a rough shooting night. I believe he was one for four from the threes.
They took him out in the last eight minutes of the first and second half. You could tell that he had lost his confidence in his shooting.
You could see where the Staff had lost their confidence in him. I saw him on the bench, looking dazed and confused. It was confusing to me because Zona was down by several points late in the game when they were needing to win the game, but their coach had Bradley in and he is not the same player as Kylan.
We will be very impressed with BamBam‘s play. He is a great player.
