The AAU Nationals have provided great games this morning and afternoon.  Kyrie Irving just finished playing the Boo Williams team that was loaded with all kinds of talent and athletic ability.  Irving struggled for most of the game not showing his true ability.  He was not involved very much at all and his team lost in a game that was never very close.  Kyrie did make a couple of moves that got the crowd up on there feet.  For Boo Williams, Justin Anderson had an excellent game in which he started out hitting a couple of deep 3’s and showed off his excellent leaping ability. Anderson has a solid game with deep deep range and he also showed an ability to really break down on defense as he would not let Irving get past even after a number of great moves by Irving.

In a game earlier today Doron Lamb played very well and showed an ability to hit free throws, which is not something that comes very often down here.  Lamb had a number of great moves and knocked down some big shots to help his team move forward in the tournament.  Some things that were noticeable to me while watching him play are his defensive intelligence and court vision.  He plays great team defense communicating with everyone and helping when his teammates are beat.

There are several more big games today as all of these players will be in action again tonight.
