Fitz for me...i already knew Tiny and TMG were going to be D1 ready and have gotten to see them play, Pledger was another guy that even though i had never seen him play i knew he had a stroke and a good sized body for this level...
Fitz didnt wow me athletically but i loved his energy and he just looked like he fit in...he honestly looked like he has been in the system a couple of years...
Expectation...Pledger came in ranked outside the top 100, and showed everyone why the rankings are suspect at best...What did Fran Feshallai say..."i have to talk to Dave Telep about this one" From what i could see they weren't small, slow guys like he played against in highschool...It was Pledger by far...They saw the same thing everyone else saw...Smart kid, solid "D", great shooter...The sky's the limit for "BIRD"
Fitzgerald played well, but I wonder if his size doesn't negate some of his contribution against better teams. He looks to be a true 4 and he looks like maybe 6' 6" - 6' 7". Am I wrong on that?
