The downside was that he picked up 7 fouls for the second game in a row and turned the ball over 6 times. He led in transition on several occasions and went to his behind-the-back moves, impressing the crowds. He also threw a behind-the-back pass while on the break to Julian Terrell for a layup and foul, and on another play stole the outlet and threw a wrap-around pass to Cornelius “Scooter” McFadgon. He got juked pretty badly by Devin Green on one play allowing Green to get a dunk, and he stole the ball from only to have Andrew steal it right back on the other end. He also got called for a technical after hooking a guy on the offensive end. Despite these negatives, Blatche had a very nice game and it was fun to watch a guy his size handle the ball as well as he does at times.

Cornelius McFadgon
Cornelius, or “Scooter” as they call him, had a monster game scoring 36 points on 14 of 23 shooting. He hung in the air catching a ball on a rebound and swung his arm around for a beautiful put-back finger-roll that had the crowd cheering. It was just a pretty play, and one you rarely see. He was 9 of 13 in the first half with an array of midrange shots between the college and NBA arcs. He hit a contested teardrop floater over Lakers big man and knocked down a 3 from just past the halfcourt line as the halftime buzzer sounded. Despite a predominantly Laker crowd, fans were cheering for him every time he got the ball with shouts of “Scooter!” and even a section of fans chanting “MVP” on several occasions. It was a great way to finish up his stint at the SPL this year.

Jermaine Walker
Jermaine finished 9 of 18 from the field for 23 points, but his scoring came in bunches as he would catch fire and light it up. He shot numerous fadeaways and jumpers in the 18’-22’ range and was unstoppable when in the zone.
