Brentwood got upset by Uniondale over the weekend. Almonacy managed only 5 points.  Video herehttp://www.msgvarsity.com/long-island/game-replay-uniondale-62-brentwood-57-1.1762439

Good find, SBU.

I've only watched about 10 minutes of game action and Uniondale's drawn about 15 charges already.

I haven't seen Almonacy in person and only watched about a half; maybe I'll catch the rest sometime this week. First impression: There's some real good things there. It seems he got into the lane at will and did a nice job finding open shooters. Pretty shooting stroke. On the flipside, I'll bet if you asked him who his favorite player was he'd say Steph Curry. Played like him; that's not a compliment in this instance. A few looooong threes (OK when they go in all the time), one-handed passes, possessions off, and he was virtually invisible defensively. I didn't like the intensity. Again, first impression, small sample size, but a big spot for him you'd think and I didn't see the gear I was looking for.
