Game 1: Finer Way Inc 97 Errol Carlstrom 104
Reggie Lynch: 16 pts, 9 rebs, 1 asst, 2 blks. 5/13 FG's, 6/7 FT
-Lynch didn't have the best shooting game and started 1/9 from the field.
-He then hit his next four shots to finish 5/13. He scored off of a couple dump offs for easy layups, an off ball cut for a two handed slam, and a left handed layup and-1 off a pass from Jarvis Johnson.
-Lynch had two blocks, including a nice left handed block in the first half when an opposing guard tried slashing into the paint.
-Lynch also had two steals, which was good to see him with active hands and not fouling.
Jarvis Johnson: 12 pts, 5 rebs, 5 assts. 5/11 FG's, 2/3 3FG's.
-Jarvis looked really good tonight. He is just so dang quick and athletic and he can blow by nearly any guard on the floor. He also operates well out of the pick and roll, and his vision on the floor is well above average.
-Jarvis and former Gopher Joey King connected for three of Jarvis' assists. He found Joey twice off pick and pop's for open three's. One of them was a no look pass into the corner to Joey when everyone thought he was going up for two.
-His best pass of the day came when he blew by his defender and jumped into the air for what looked like a layup before he dumped off to Lynch for a thunderous dunk. That drew big cheers from the crowd.
-Jarvis connected on two of his three three-point attempts. One time he got a rebound and hit a pullup right wing three the other direction.
-His best move of the day came on a left wing drive where he hit a crossover into a between the legs dribble to his left and finished with a left handed scoop shot off glass.
-He finished the game with an exclamation point slam dunk off a steal and pass from Lynch.
-Jarvis is still a super good player despite not being able to play for Minnesota these past couple years. He certainly would have helped them last year off the bench, especially when Nate got hurt in the NCAA Tournament game. Shame we'll never see him in maroon and gold.
Bakary Konate: 7 pts, 5 rebs, 1 steal. 1/4 FG's, 5/8 FT's.
-His one bucket tonight came off a dump off from a guard that he finished for a two handed dunk.
-Tried two hook shots over Lynch but they rimmed out. His other miss was a botched one handed dunk that he missed long.
-Looked solid rebounding the ball and his free throw stroke looked nice as well. Quiet night overall for BK.
Joey King: 19 pts, 6 rebs, 1 asst. 6/10 FG's, 5/8 3FG's, 2/2 FT's.
-King worked well with Jarvis tonight and consistently knocked down open three point shots.
-Hit five three's and one step back two from 20 ft at the top of the key.
-Has looked good shooting the ball this Pro Am as he could always hit the open shots. Still not great defensively or rebounding, but the ball found him a couple more times than usual tonight.
