Charles Jenkins is a guard for Hofstra, and he recently hit two huge shots against William & Mary. The first was to tie the game at the end of regulation, while the second was to win the game in overtime.
Jenkins is averaging 23.5 points per game and is currently projected to go in the second round by NBADraft.net and DraftExpress. Unfortunately, Hofstra is unlikely to make the NCAA tournament unless they find a way to win the Colonial Conference Tournament.
How often do you see a game-winning dunk? Well, you’re about to…
I’m trying to figure out what the hell Orlando was doing on defense. It looked like J.J. Redick was covering Al Horford (?), while Dwight Howard was cheating over to help on Joe Johnson, who was being covered by Vince Carter. Over on the weak side, Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis were checking three guys — Smith, Mario West and Marvin Williams. When the shot went up, Smith and West went to the glass, and Lewis just turned and watched the shot. He needs to box out someone there, preferably the better athlete (Smith) who has a better shot of following Johnson’s miss.
It actually kind of reminded me of the NC State/Houston game back in 1983. The final play starts at about the 0:15 mark, and when the shot goes up, you can see Hakeem Olajuwon just turn and face the shot like Lewis did. That allowed Lorenzo Charles to swoop in on the baseline, catch the ball, and dunk it home for the win. Here’s a look:
What’s the lesson, kids?
BOX OUT!
I caught this live and it was pretty exciting…
