standards, people

what dave sez.

In Pete Gillen's defense, however, the favorite word of NBA draft veterans.

[Sam] Warren averaged seven points, five rebounds and six blocks a game. The numbers were not particularly gaudy because Warren played on a very guard-oriented team as a junior. "Sam is a very athletic and very raw player right now," said Cherry Creek coach Mike Brookhart. "I will tell you that he is a player with a tremendous, tremendous upside."

As with many prep post players, Brookhart says Warren’s development progresses positively nearly each day. "He’s getting better and better around the basket. Right now, he definitely has a strong defensive presence in the post in terms of blocking shots and rebounding," Brookhart said.

While Warren is 6-10 now, there are indications that he could be even taller when he arrives at his college of choice. Warren’s father is 7-foot-1 and the younger Warren was 6-8 prior to his junior season.

Not just upside (no pun intended). "Tremendous, tremendous, upside."
