I went, and instead of it being 2 hours as advertised it was less than an hour. But it was pretty entertaining, I'll post some pics and vids soon. They just shot around a bit and did a little scrimmage. Pietrus looked good, he got like 3 fast break dunks in a row.

And heres a video of a part of the scrimmage: http://anonym.to/?http://s18.yousendit.com...2N1UGGJ0EO5HCQ3 Some alley oops from Baron... first one made is by Monta: http://anonym.to/?http://s18.yousendit.com...A324GPG4R3TUO5P
Thanks for the pics and video AnimeFanatic. BTW, who is #0? Is it Aaron Miles? And the second link leads to YouSendIt but on the web site it says I cant DL the video.
I went last night. Akindele: Looked a little like a young Olajuwon. Slim build and really long arms. He doesn't play like Olajuwon but he is athletic. Taft: Big strong kid. Good hands, moves well, can jump. His shot is mechanically bad. Not much arc and not much spin. He caught a nice pass from Miles in the low block and hammered it home. Miles: Quick, real good passer. He looks stronger than Monta but is smaller. Monta: Looks like a baller. He was aiming his shot last night. Foyle: did not practice but rode the stationary bike alongside Ike. Ray Young and Justin Davis will be gone soon. Justin can't play at this level he looked awkward. Ray Young doesn't really do anything real well. I was surprised by Taft's size. He has a man's body and is really put together. A fun little show. Bdiddy was throwing amazing lobs and got the joint screaming and jumping.
Thanks AnimeFanatic! Great stuff. Can you please repost this video? Thx. http://anonym.to/?http://s18.yousend...324GPG4R3TUO5P

Thx. </div> Heres the alley-oops again: http://s24.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1OT0OLF...DI2TE2QGO8FGWKM Bonus for you guys, all the players jacking up half court shots. Gets a little crazy at the end. Enjoy! http://s24.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2DJPM5I...ON3LXPO0NIWJDAJ
Thanks, AnimeFanatic, you rock! Jeez, the athleticism from 6'3 Monta Ellis is just unreal. That was a pretty darn high jump off one foot for the alley oop dunk. If he adds some power to his game a la Steve Francis and Baron Davis, he could be dunking in traffic in one of these games. Looks like Akindele and Ray Young got some feeds.
