Barrett has a lot of Paul Pierce in him, in his ability to draw/absorb contact and finish around the rim. Really impressive for someone his age.

I can’t believe 15 gets playing time for Duke. What does he do well?
He’s only playing because Reddish is hurt. He didn’t play at all last game. He can hit a 3, and Reddish was teams best 3 point shooter. He’s bad on defense tho

I definitely don’t think it is a flagrant, but that is an obvious offensive foul on Zion.

I thought that was the definition of a flagrant but don't understand the rule at all. When you swing your arm way up high behind you, you're inviting a hit to the other dude's head.

But Zion is a beast regardless, love his game.

Hard to guard Zion when he can do whatever the fuck he wants.
Given the size disparity versus the opposition coupled with his speed/athleticism I think he is probably the toughest player the NCAA refs have had to officiate in years if not ever.

Meh, you still can’t smack people in the face and get them whistles for the foul.

I feel like outside of the obvious size disparity that would immediately draw the attention of the other team, I could swap places with Alex O’Connell and be just as effective.

He is like the rich kid that has all the cool gear and looks really good, but is actually ass.

That’s a tough finish for Hill, but he will be having nightmares about that shot for the rest of his life.
