I love it when he is one but what is up with his hands/focus? Bobbles about 1/4 passes and misses rebounds that come right at him...
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Much better overall performance from Oregon on all fronts. Much better ball movement and shooting on offense and a lot of intensity on defense. I know Syracuse was missing one of their better players today, but that should be a really good BB team by year's end.

Well, that was fun.

Absolutely have a man-crush on Will Richardson's game.

Going to be an inconsistent year with all these young guys, but sky is the limit once King is back too.

The 3 kids from Duke who might end up going 1-2-3 in the draft.

RJ Barrett beat Team USA single-handedly with Team Canada. He's the best prospect in years.

On another site I said that Will Richardson would be a taller version of Casey Benson. His handles seem to be even better than Casey's but they both have such heads for the game and the lefty stroke that's good enough to be a threat from deep.

It was impressive to see the Ducks rebound from such a disappointing performance on the road, against a team that also lost badly the night before. So far, its important for the Ducks to have Pritchard & Wooten at least participate in the game for them to have a chance at winning.
Richardson is fun to watch and Amin & Bol were the standouts of the tournament. Everybody has noted that the turnovers are the glaring problem, and most of them are sloppy passes, so should be able to correct as the offense becomes tighter.

Odd trivia: As of right now, this part of the Ducks own official website has Syracuse winning the game:

Dare I say that Richardson is a "more athletic", Benson.

Okay, this takes a bit of the hurt away from last night's loss, Iowa 91 UCONN 72.

Do people not like Richardson? He's much better than Benson.

I think around here, Richardson is thought of very highly. As was said, he has Benson's attributes plus even more athleticism. Benson was a game manager extraordinaire, great assist/turnover ratio, and could nail a 3, take a charge. But even this early, Richardson has a much deeper skill set.

I think Richardson is going to be great, I just think the comparison to Benson is funny. I'd take Richardson right now over Benson as a Sr, that's how much better I think he is
I also think the O flows allot better with him with the ball than it has so far with Prichard.
