Nike Global Challenge

[HoopKnowledge]

Harrison Barnes had a game-high 20 points last night for USA-Midwest, but they were upset by a buzzer-beating 3-pointer vs. Senegal.

Melvin Ejim had 6 points and 3 steals in Canada's thrashing of Serbia, 97-66.

Look for the Canadians to be a serious threat to win this event.

Nike Global Challenge - Day 1

Nice recap from the Oregon paper on the first day's action of the Nike Global Challenge AAU event. HB led his team with 20 pts and 7 rbs, but his team lost to Senegal on a last second prayer from three with no time left.

Also, didn't realize Ejim was playing in the event with Team Canada - he has a nice highlight dunk in the video clip at the end of the article. Note of the three US teams, only one team won.

Are we still recruiting Lomomba or is he a likely Marquette committ?

The kid from Brasil had 5 blks and 7 boards. Impressive D for this style of game.

I think we're still recruiting him, but I'm not sure.

I love the way he just seems to hover while doing the windmill action.

Canada lost the championship game tonight. Ejim didn't appear to be much of a factor for Canada during the tournament. Beginning to wonder if he still is at or near the top of ISU's wish list for 2010.

Harrison looks to be getting cocky. I like confident. Don't like cocky

Canada was loaded at the three, and Melvin still got some decent minutes. and yes, we still want him. He is athletic, strong a great defender, and a great shooter (Although his shot was off this July, he was deadly for Brewster) Once he improves his ballhandling. :yes:

I couldn't be less concerned about this. There's a fine line and being the #1 player in the nation will get into anybody's head. Once again, I'll take a cocky HB in a nanosecond. He's not a head-case like so many others. At least not yet.

Ehhh not so much 85. From what ive heard, the serbian team was in his face a lot, and pushing and shoving a lot just like any other team to try and get under his skin, so he was just showing them what was up. they couldnt stop him.

Clark is more athetic...Ejim has a better skill set and is bigger/stronger.

Re: Nike Global Challenge - Day 1

Not really, he's a lot stronger, and a better shooter, but not quite as great of a finisher.
IIRC, Melvin hit four threes or more in 4 different games for Brewster last year.

People have knocked him for being soft, and now he has a couple of dunks and claps in a guys face and he's cocky? Can't win. I'll take him in a clone uniform either way.
