In response to bradley
Fair questions, but I think it's more about missing pieces. Mr. James accurately noted that Harvard is playing without a point guard. In fact, I think there's an argument that even Aiken and McCarthy are not really PG's, although they provide much more than Juzang and Haskett - two defensive oriented guards - can. Without Bryce, Harvard has no transition game whatsoever.
As for the class producing stars, I'd maintain that Towns and Lewis are on their way. Dartmouth can attest to Towns - 26 efficient points in a very slow paced game where Dartmouth focused on him. Lewis is probably the best defensive big in the league, although his offensive production is steady, if not remarkable.
Bassey was not part of the 4 touts, and he's a big role player who guards the opposition's best player and rebounds. Juzang is a strong defensive guard, but not your starting PG. Welsh is a project. All that is not surprising, but maybe the inability to carve out a role for Robert Baker and his small forward skills in a 6'10" frame is a disappointment
Of course, they're all still sophomores.
Hoping Bryce is available next weekend.
