Of all the former Ivy players starting and/or playing at power five schools, only one is currently averaging 10+ ppg. Ryan Betley. Bradley is hurt now, and Betley has gone for 17 and 19 since he went down (both in wins).
Obviously Cal isn’t a power house, but he seems to have landed in a good spot.

There just isn't a team in the NCAA or NBA that can't use a long distance gunner who can move off the ball, gives up the rock quickly, and has low turnovers. He was really improving defensively too, until his knee injury. I need to watch some of his games - thanks for the reminder!

I was looking for some YouTube highlights of Cal games and found this instead. I think this shows why he performs well at the next level. There's quite a bit of subtlety in his off the ball movement through screens. He forces his defender to choose between protecting his dive to the hoop vs. the three. He really is a world class shooter.

I was also struck by some great passes from Brodeur. Man, I miss that pairing. You're always in the game with those two around.

Mike Smith looked pretty good tonight in Michigan's win over Maryland.

It was good to see Betley doing well, but there were a bunch of animated GIF files of Betley flexing for the camera. Not enough game clips!
