McNeeley surprisingly didn’t start. Got 6th man minutes. That’s not the norm for him and Montverde. Extended minutes for Givens and Wright who is their better PG.

I wonder why. Injury or under the weather? in the doghouse? Matchup issue with that team?

12 points and 4 assists in 18 minutes isn't bad.

Could be a matchup thing. Maybe Bowles wanted an extra, smaller guard on defense. Idk.

MVA on ESPN2 at 5:30 today in a game against Columbus (FL).

Paul Biancardi on McNeeley as Montverde is trampling yet another top 10 HS team:

”His biggest job at Montverde this year is to get Derik Queen to go to Indiana.”

It’s funny because it’s true.

MVA absolutely destroying Columbus (FL) and the Boozer twins 47-18 at the half.  They've turned 13 Columbus turnovers into 21 points, are +18 in the paint and have forced the Explorers to shoot 25% from the field in the first half.

Wonder if Queen really did foul out in 9 minutes or if that’s a box score error.

Have watched him about 15x. Does he play any defense at all? I sure haven't seen any.

No. Religious exemption. It’s a whole thing.

Really? Huh. Guess it depends how you define your terms. If by play defense you’re saying he can be iso’d and driven, that’s true but kind of dependent on the other kid, because not everyone’s gonna be able to do it. If by play defense you mean does he communicate, is he aware on switches,  does he move his feet, does he have active hands, does he play the scouting report, will he fight over screens, will he play physically, I’m not really with you on that because I see that stuff pretty consistently. Not saying he’s a lockdown guy, but he’s a really solid defender within their scheme and if he’s your weakest defender then you’re probably a pretty good defensive team.

Watching it right now. To put it kindly, this is not one of Sunrise’s better teams.

[DChoosier 7,664]

Liam 4-4 from the three. Not sure he will be a good fit here. :)

And the MVA train keeps on rollin'.

Another win for MVA.
