Baller of the week 2

Baller of the Week
I dreaded doing this ever since watch their game Sunday morning, but I think I've pushed it off long enough. The baller of the week for week 2 is Bradley teDuits, again. Do I credit this in any way shape or form to Bradley being talented or even playing well? Absolutely not. A pure stroke of luck that his matchup in Jared Whitby was feeling ill let Brad get a weaker matchup and excel with it. I also credit the wind for this scoring outbreak. I think someone left the back doors to Lawrence Academy open because everyone who is head and shoulder above Bradley in talent was missing their shots (because of the wind) and Brad who's shots usually miss to the left or right by 1-2 feet were suddenly catching gusts of wind and blowing in. Quite frankly a miracle. You know what they say, "A broken clock is still right twice a day." As bad as he is, his selfish attitude lets him get plenty of shots up so that once in a blue moon a good portion will go in. Congrats Brad, the basketball gods were in your favor. For anyone wondering how many points he had, the answer is a lot.

Honarable Mentions:
Derek Caruso- He had to cope with his friends shredding him for a subpar week 1 and his response was a 20 point week 2 which is very respectable. It was a good statement performance by him to bring his team to 2-0 and break away from the pack after 2 weeks. He seemed to ghost to the rim and finish around the rim through contact. It's tough to notice with the naked eye, but he's quite the lanky player, his long arms play to his favor and he's able to grab a good portion of rebounds. 

Jack Dummont- In a game that lacked much of anything without Will Bordes, someone needed to step up and do the scoring and Dummont did with 16 points to lead the game in scoring. We can only expect most of these points came before Castro showed up at halftime and started shooting every time he got his hands on the ball. Who knows maybe if Dummont can consistently play like this, Castro can consistently show up, Curtis can play well and their new addition Josh "Flashyburrito" Mcneil plays well this team can string more good games together.

Jake Brown- I hate to say I didn't see this coming, but in all honesty I didn't. I was aware of his lethal 3 ball, but Jake put up 14 points and 8 of them were inside shots. Granted he had much more time on the floor than others due to a lack of attendance from his team, but he did well with what he was given. Keep doing you Down-town-Jake-Brown.
