B Wil has played a fair amount at the point both last year and, to a lesser extent, this year. But from watching their games, I think they are also not the answer for point guards. Lexy has even played some point to give Chucky a breather. Kyleesha was described by Coach Lappe as a point guard in the press release after signing day, but the reason I asked the question is that the stats that are being reported seem to vary a lot in the "assist" column. And that should be a key number for a point guard. The points and steals seem to always be terriffic numbers. I'm hoping she will be the answer for the point.
I think it's pretty rare for a high school PG to consistently rack up a lot of assists unless there's a lot of scholarship talent on the roster. Dinwiddie did on the men's side, but his high school team would beat some college teams and his AAU team would probably make the dance.Originally Posted by BeBe
Good point Nik. We shall have to wait and see.
so so true. We get so aggreviated on the assists. it should definitely be alot higher, but its definitely based off of what other players do. Don't get me wrong, the kids try, but you get alot of kids that aren't BASKETBALL kids. the angles of the passes that Kyleesha does, or how she anticipates what they should do, they don't. And they have to catch the ball. It's so different in Summer ball. No complaints though. The kids are all doing a good job. Ky's just ready for the next level. She'll help in any way that she can. Defense or point, she's getting ready.
Sorry its been awhile, since i've posted. Last 4 games, she's did (17, 15, 24 & 22pts) but what i'm writing about today is her game yesterday. First shot of the game, she hit 3 pointer, but her shot was off the rest of the game, at half we were down 24-11. Didn't look that good. We came out in a full court 1-3-1, kyleesha, being the top defender. Totally different half, we shut the other team down 16-0 in 3rd quarter and 4th quarter 16-8. Ended up winning 43-32 for tournament. We play for championship on Friday. One of the coaches, who we'll play on Friday for championship, specifically told Kyleesha, that he has never seen a defensive performance executed that well. And that one person, changed the whole game, without scoring. She ended up with 8pts, 7 steals, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. The rest of points were from free throws 5 out of 6. I think that was the best compliment that she had gotten, regarding her game.
"She ended up with 8pts, 7 steals, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists."
That's a basketball player, folks.
And so is this, trainer made her do an ice bath last night when she got home. She also had to do one this morning before going to school. Trainer is also given her another after school today. Both ankles are sore, knee is swollen and ribs bruised. It was a dog fight last few games. She's a trooper.
I love these updates. We might have gotten one hell of a steal here.
thanx for the updates lrr5195. Hope she gets feelin' better real soon.
We should have listened to Colorado fans.
Kyleesha's team, ended up loosing the championship. She made all tournament team, and also won MVP of the tournament. :)
We played St. Joe Central this past Thursday night, in my home town, about 45 miles away from Kyleesha's school, we had over 100 family and friends come out to see Kyleesha's last perforrmance in St. Joe. Also, the team we was playing the coach was playing for his 500 win. Please read article. Kyleesha's final stats were 23 pts, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 steals.

Operation 500th win . . . . . FAIL
We'll have to have everyone come out to Boulder for a few games then.
Sorry to hear that they lost, but sounds like she played great. She has a lot to be proud of. Hopefully she can rest up because it sounds like she was a little banged up at the end of the season. We're going to need her next year!
I like the fact that something other than stats matter to this young lady. She seems a bit po'ed at missing out on the coach's 500th win.
You guys read that post wrong.
Weston and her teammates denied the other coach his 500th win.

No one ever said I was literate.
GOOD JOB KYLEESHA!
