Tez Walker NFL Draft Scouting Report​

Tez Walker fits the mold for an NFL outside receiver. Walker thrives off his vertical speed to generate big plays in the passing game, tracks the ball in flight nicely, and makes routine over-the-shoulder catches, showcasing his concentration and hand-eye coordination. His ability to generate separation with his route-running without speed needs improvement. (The Draft Network)

I was watching the 1977 National Semi- final between UNC/UNLV this morning on the treadmill. It was a 84- 83 Carolina win.
I was surprised by the amount of turnovers in the game, especially by Phil Ford as I was watching.
I checked the boxscore after the game and Carolina committed 27 turnovers in this game! Phil Ford had 9!!!!
We often lament about how today's basketball teams are not as good as past teams, although the players are better.
It was hard to watch this game and think teams of the past were better than those of present day. This was not a very well played basketball game lol.
My grainy memory of this team took a hit watching this reply.😒

If you havent seen it, Nefarious is a fantastic movie. Its about demon possession but not at all what you would expect. No cursing, no blood, no head spinning or wall crawling. I was surprised at good it was.

"They better not do that again" #ToughGuyTalk 🙄

With Hubert Davis.

He has better players now who get along. That's important.

...and rolly-polly got hisself out-coached (more on that below)...

Arright... some mofo snuck into the Dome and put a lid on on our basket, but once we opened the seal it wasn't long before game over. But here's the thing --- I could see that coming because we were out-scheming them and playing as good a brand o' D as we've seen, even when our shots weren't falling.

- Let's start there: I hate Forbes' dribble-drive-iso ball, but it can be tedious to defend with their fire-power and FT prowess --- you MUST play full-possessions with your FEET and not bail them out with reaches! To our guys' credit, we didn't give in or let up. Other than being able to pick on RJ early with Sallis' size advantage, NOTHING came easy for them. While we were missing good looks, Wake struggled to even GET looks.

- Again, great team defensive effort and we really cleaned up our rotations from Saturday. Individually, Mando has become SO damn good defensively in his old age, and EC flat did a number on his PG counterparts all night.

- We finally broke it open with defense and TEMPO. In that 2nd half ass-kicking when we hung 52 on em, 26 of those came in transition (!)... I also liked that we made an effort to play up-tempo in the second even when EC was out, which previously hasn't been the case. In general though, some of those second-half Secondaries were sick .

- Controlled the boards vs a long team.

- Credit to the zebras for not biting on Wake's constant attempts to beg fouls by initiating contact on their shots. Other than two AWFUL calls (one on Cadeau and one on RJ) that gave Wake unearned FTs, the crew was solid.

- a VERY deceptive stat shows us with only 8 Assists, but (other than EC once again getting shorted by at least 2) the reason was the coaching thing I started with. I mentioned yesterday that we put in a play or two for each opponent that we've scouted and then hammer it. Tonight it was the high angled flair-screen into a 2-man game from the top. As you saw, Wake does NOT defend that worth a crap and Forbes didn't adjust as EC and RJ consistently got down-hill and our "little guys" were making layups. By my count we ran that action 16 times and got a bucket or FTs from it 11 (and could've been more with some finishes). Plus, RJ just ate em up on the mid-range floater that was there whenever he wanted it on the way to his career high.

- the other sweet coaching adjustment was getting the rock to Ingram for the RIGHT isos --- whenever he had redhead-boy on him it was taking candy from a baby --- while not forcing vs a taller defender.

- Finally, i love how this team never seems to let bad stretches get them into hang-dogging or forcing shots (like um, last season). These guys seems to realize that if we keep doing what we've been practicing, success will come.

Anyway, got past another Cormac ankle scare and stepped up to blow out a definite NCAA team. Now let's get rested and ready to rock again Saturday!...
