They all showed some exciting skills. Allen is quick and smooth and looks like he plays good D. Shaq looked physical is bullied some of the kids around (will be interesting to see how he is against college competition). Mitchell is more nimble than you'd guess at first glance but has plenty of work to do on his body. He looks soft and needs to lose 20 or so pounds. I also am interested in what his actual height is. Cassell isn't an explosive athlete but can score and seems to use his body well (though he does look like an old man out there). Finally, I could only see glimpses of Dodd but he showed some athleticism and length.

Inquiring minds want to know.... what did you think of Montrezl Harrell? Will he be able to immediately compete as a frontcourt player in the ACC?

From what I saw on those highlights, he looked like the best player on the floor...and it wasn't particularly close.

Of course, it was an "all-star" game, so it's tough to judge by that as well.

I agree. He was the most impressive player on the court in that game. However, as you said it was an all-star game and often times the "athletes" shine more in those and this was no exception. Cleare & Mitchell aren't aren't elite athletes or necessarily super exciting to watch but they are wide loads who get their work done in a different fashion. Even though Cassell can light it up he isn't a high-flyer or super explosive guy either. He is more of a crafty scorer. I think Allen surprises some people with his hops and explosion.

Anyways, like I said I think Harrell was the most impressive player the other night and if he refines his game will be extremely good in the ACC.

Mitchell doesn't really look like a big man. Looks like a SF/PF crafty player that uses his body to get around and drive.

He is undersized (height-wise) at PF but he isn't a small forward or wing really. I agree that he is crafty/has been handles than you would expect from someone with his body but I wouldn't say he is a guy that is going to score much on the drive. I'm thinking he is a poor mans Chuck Barkley.

With Seth's firing, I would imagine Harrell is a question mark. The timing of this firing is bizarre. There has to be much more to it.

Reminds me of a Draymond Green type of body.
