'17 CO SG D'Shawn Schwartz (SIGNED to COLORADO)

[AztecBuff]

Looks like he's started off strong in the state playoffs.



In the next (Sweet 16) round, looks like his team, seeded #10, will be small underdogs against #7 Pueblo West (per bracket at http://www.maxpreps.com/tournament/...ys-basketball-state-tournaments--class-4a.htm ).

Oh yeah!

D'Shawn is smoother, quicker, more athletic, and a million times better ball handler than XJ.

They're also completely different style of players. I would hope that a guy who's playing 2 for us is smoother and quicker than someone playing 4.

Thanks for saying that before I said it in a meaner and dumber way.
Thoughts on video: I'm encouraged. a lot more than I was initially. Still doesn't have a great first step, but knows how to create space (he's gonna get a lot of push off calls, I'm guessing) and has good body control and handles.

If he reminds me of anyone from recently, it is Burks with his handle and ability to finish. Here's hoping he turns out to be a similar player

 

[Buffs Basketball Fan]

Nervous for the hype.
Hope he does well but people here will expect immediate results and if they dont see them will take to
the blogs. Let him find his way first.

I don't think he has Burks' athleticism. I was talking to @Darth Snow about this and he kind of has "old man game" on offense. That aspect reminded me of Andre Miller.

My summation of Schwartz: looks like Fletch, plays like J40

 

[BuffHerd]

Love it. 6'5" with ball skills. Welcome.

I liked the step-back jumper in the vids, as well as his ability to finish at the rim with either hand.

Don't want to be that guy, especially because I'm amped on D'Shawn, but I'm excited for him to get his runs in against opponents with superior size and athleticism...looks like a man among boys playing against those CO 4A schools.

There's going to definitely be an adjustment. Luckily, his time with USA Basketball will help a little in that regard.
