After watching IU play much quicker on D now that DD is out, you can see why Archie and staff want Forrester. His athleticism will allow him to excel on defense.

Wow Kenyon Martin, that's a blast from the past. Don't hear too many young guys mention his name.

FWIW Forrester's team plays on ESPNU at 5pm today.  I think against IMG Academy

Kid has a nice looking baseline jumper and runs the floor.

He is a perfect fit for what Archie wants to do. IU finally has a coach with a plan in place

The offense when Reddish has the ball in hand is a clear out and drive every time.

Yeah. It’s pretty obvious why they’ve lost 5 games. It’s the Cam Reddish show

[JSHoosier 19,826]

He hasn't gotten many opportunities so far, a couple times when they did look to him they were ill advised passes.  Mostly, as others have said, it's the Reddish show.

[mdn82 25,510]

With his body type I would like to see him twitchier, but that is work with the trainer. He seems a step slow off of the bounce on defense. A couple of times the ball handler draws him in just to kick.

Good positioning rebounding

Great rebounder, but his D needs a lot of work. He’s caught jumping or out of position quite a bit

[A.j. Nigh 1,000]

I like his athleticism and how he runs the floor.

To be fair they are like a 4A playing these basketball factories. They will win another state title, but the other 4 kids do nothing when Reddish gets the ball. Defensively you can tell they watch no film or really practice defense much. Should be a solid clean slate.

#20 for Westtown reminds me of a younger Phinisee
