...because I swear, when Colton has been in the games lately, the team is absolutely dominant. The physical toughness Iverson is displaying is great - he looks like one strong m.f. out there. He's continually fighting hard for the rebounds, even if his size/legs still deceive him sometimes. The best part I've liked about his game lately is he WANTS to set hard picks on the opposing defenders. He's a garbage man with some pretty decent moves for a sophomore.
If he gets that final bit of awkwardness out of him, watch out. As for development, he's far ahead of where the following NBA players were as sophomores, IMO:
Jim Peterson
Trevor Winter
John Thomas
I wouldn't put him far behind Joel Pryz, either. As for he compared to Ralph - he's stronger and has better moves, but Ralph has better feet and a better shot. They're nice compliments that Tubby can use the next two years to create difficult matchups for opponents.
As for tomorrow, both he and Ralph will have a real tough time, since Turner and Buford are going to be driving into the lane often. I expect DJ and Iverson to have foul trouble; I only hope Sampson can step up and keep Turner and Buford from getting too easy looks.
