Ball, you know anything about this kid Brad Bundschuh from Gill St. Bernard's? I liked what I saw from him good build, good athlete for a big guy, bangs inside, and can step out and shoot it. I know he's out with a concussion but seems like he has some ability.
Checkmate, he's is underrated in my opinion. First thing is he's been well coached. The Gill St.Bernards coach is one of the best in Tri state area. Kid knows what being accountable is all about.
He's High IQ player also, every kid on Gill's team has to have an IQ. Even the water boy and towel boy must have an IQ. Everything you said he is, is accurate and it translates to this level easily. On the defensive end he hasn't completely figured it out but he tries.
It's tough to get a true feel for what a guy brings to the table with these highlight reels. I'll watch a lot of baseball vids and will see the shortstop throw a seed across the diamond that one time, but what about the ball in the dirt before that and the misplayed grounder afterward? Body language, effort, consistency, that's all stuff you can't make a determination on in a one-minute video. Obvious but I try not to draw too many conclusions. It's all so doctored.
There's definitely some good things to see here with Bundschuh. I like his actions. Like Latimer, with the talent that GSB has, I don't know that they're ever feeding Bundschuh the ball over and over, but he looks competent around the rim and like he's been shooting jumpers all his life. I don't think he's an oaf/project. VC says he has offers from Eastern Kentucky and St. Francis, and I also read that he went on unofficial visits to Lehigh, Marist and Cornell so I think he could hack it here academically.
As I said before, the coaches know much more about the game than I do. They could have seen him a bunch of times and already crossed him off the list. On the surface, from this novice, he looks like a kid who could help out.
