I think he will be very good. Gotta improve his shooting and shot selection some..

I may have to dig out some research to see what is the earliest in their career did a UAB freshman score 20 or more points. Can't be too many freshmen who did it nine games into their career.

For a lot of the freshmen they would have been fortunate just to get into the game 9 games into their first season much less score 20 points.

I don't disagree but isn't it nice to see a freshman who is confident and aggressive.

Without going to far back, the earliest I have found that a freshman has scored 20 or more points was when Mo Finley scored 32 against Fresno State in his fifth game as a Blazer.

I hope that is a omen of what J Williams is going to do for UAB.

I would have thought that among Lee, Cokley or Norton, one would have done it just as quickly if not sooner

Norton scored 26 points in his 18th game. Cokley scored 20 in his 29th game. Lee didn't score more than 20 until his sophomore year. Sullivan scored over 20 in his second game of his sophomore year.

Wow. That's good company to be in. I don't think I've personally seen a true freshman be that aggressive and confident on the court for us. Once he gains some shooting touch, look out.

I wonder if he will keep starting or if that was just a one time thing to wake up dirk? Dirk did play pretty well last year as our sixth man..

I liked the starting lineup switch. Dirk seems more comfortable coming off the bench.

I think a lot of us overrate how much of a scorer Lee is. Even in high school he didn't put up outrageous numbers for the size school he played at.(scoring wise) Lee is a very good player, he just isn't the guy who is going to impact a game by dropping 25 on any given night.

Only reason he came off the bench was because of an ankle injury.

We will see if the change stays in place this weekend.

That was the most amazing performance by a UAB player that I can ever recall,considering his youth, the fact we were playing a highly ranked team at the time befoer a great cowd in the BJCC, and his important role in securing the victory. I also am pretty sure that it was the only time I have ever seen a UAB player carried off the floor on the shoulders of his teammates in Victory. WOW, what a termendous moment in Blazer History for me!
