After a period where we here at BSD, and others around the Wake Forest community, were not sure if the basketball team was going to be allowed to compete in the Triad Pro-Am Summer League this year at Forsyth Country Day School, we can happily say that the Deacons, old and new, start playing tomorrow night at FCDS.
There have been a few changes to the league this year, so click through the jump to check out the rosters, schedules, and what we here at BSD are going to do to keep everybody updated that can't make it to the games themselves.
Click through the jump for more information of the Summer League.
In years past, particularly last year, players from Wake Forest have not shown up for certain games for one reason or another. The new format this year (less teams, games two nights a week on Monday and Thursday), will seemingly change this for the best. There are six teams this year, with current Wake Forest players on four of them (the other two teams are the Guilford College team, and the Holcomb-Fayes, who are joined this year by former Deacs LD Williams, Chas McFarland, and David Weaver). The Holcomb-Fayes are certainly the favorites, and that provides the Deacs on the other team a chance at some really good competition throughout the league.
Another thing that less teams does for the team is get more players from our current team playing together. It has been two players in years past, but this year, all but one of the four teams that has Wake Forest players on it has three current Deacons. This will encourage them all to show up, be accountable for each other, and also get to know each other a little better on and off the court.
With less games, it also allows the crowds that want to go to the game the ability to watch all of them in one night instead of switching between two gyms. The games will be from 6:30-8:30 on Monday and Thursday nights, and will all be played in the big gym at FCDS.
The Deacons that are together are as follow (with a link to the full rosters under them):
C.J Harris, Ryan Keenan, Daniel Green
JT Terrell, Melvin Tabb, (and former Deac Craig Dawson)
Tony Chennault, Chase Fischer, Ty Walker
Anthony Fields, Travis McKie, Carson Desrosiers
Schedule for 7/11
6:30- Team Guilford vs. Fields/McKie/CD
7:30- Harris/Keenan/Green vs. Chennault/Fischer/Walker
8:30- Holcomb-Fayes vs. Terrell/Tabb/Dawson
Things to watch for tomorrow night
- I expect the Fields/McKie/CD team to work very hard and probably surprise some people in the league this year. They should get a fairly comfortable win over Team Guilford in their first matchup tomorrow night.
- The 7:30 matchup promises to be a good one with the two point guards from last year (Harris and Chennault) going at it. With Chennault presumably fully recovered from his foot injury, I am ready to see what he can do this year. Could give a good look at how far he has come/how he stacks up against CJ. It will also be good to see anything from Daniel Green because I have yet to see him play a second of basketball from anywhere.
- The 8:30 matchup pits the best two teams in the league in my opinion. The Holcomb-Fayes have won multiple Summer League Championships, and with the additions of LD, Chas and D-Weave, that does not look to stop this year. Don't underestimate a team with JTT and Craig Dawson though, that team can obviously get back into a game in a hurry if they are clicking from the perimeter. I am very excited to see how Tabb looks after working hard to get back into shape on the court (and off the court for that matter). I would definitely advise staying to watch this game for the entertainment factor that it will provide.

Rumors were that he didn't think they did much for us
I believe that he was concerned about it reinforcing bad habits/taking away from study time from summer school classes. There had also been discipline problems in the past, where players would yell at the referees (who are admittedly not very good/want to make it about them). They have tightened up the rules concerning respecting the games and the officials themselves. That may or may not have played into it.

Ready for the games to start!
Looking forward to see how everyone has improved, and what the freshmen might be able to provide. Hopefully I can make it to a few games.
And what’s the latest on Tabb? He seems to be sticking around but he hasn’t been reinstated yet has he?
I'm gonna be there, at least for the first two games.
I’m pumped up to just watch some basketball.
Got Travis, Carson, and Anthony up in the first game
Vs Guilford College. GC has a somewhat big guy so we will get a glimpse of what Carson can bring.

Actually I haven't seen Travis. Thought I did but it wasn't him. Will update

GC has some shooters
They will test Fields perimeter defense early and often

Carson looks to have bulked up a good bit
Arms look much stronger. Has a good frame to build on. Travis looks lean and ready to go

Carson has had a couple of crappy fouls called on him
Has a few boards and four points. No wake player on the court right now. Their team is up 13 thouh

Lackluster second part of the half
Refs still suck and neither team is very good. Travis and Carson giving it their all. Carson got his third foul on a bs flop.

Travis bringing it now. Looks like the same player from last year
Carson looks a little lost inside and is shooting mid range jumpers and missing

Travis with 4 boards, Carson has two with ten mins leftt
Keep in mind these are currently our two best rebonders

Why are they not getting boards, lack of effort, wrong place, not that many missed shots?
Obviously there’s not a lot of data since it’s one game, but I always love a good hunch.

Carson has been in foul trouble
Combination lack of effort and grabbing the ball when they touch it. Travis is leaking out for the fast break a lot.

Deacs win 67 48
Travis with 23 points, 4 boards, 3 assists, a block and a steal
Carson with 6 points, 4 boards, 1 assist, 3 blocks, 2 steals

Chase has 9 and hit two threes back to back
Cj has put on some muscle and Chennault has lost weight. Green has 6 points and two boards. Our guys are looking good right now. Turnovers are a bit of a problem

Halftime
Good effort by both teams.
TC with 9, CJ with 6, Daniel with 6, Chase with 9, Ryan with none unfortunately.
Chase, CJ, and Daniel all had two boards. CJ had 3 tos and 1 ast, chase did as well. CJ with two blocks as well.

I like what I see out of chase and Daniel so far.
Seem to have high ball iqs and communicate well with teammates. Chase drew up a play that he told to TC that yielded two points. Like what I’m seeing all around. CJ and TC need to slowmdown a bit, but CJ was the better player in that half imo

Chase is a scoring machine. The Chase vs. JT game should be fun.
Thanks for the clutch updates. Does Green have any offensive skill/hands?
Somewhat. He hit a bank shot earlier
He also let one through his hands that CJ got to him

Final stats
Fischer 28 points, 7-11 from three, 2 boards, 1 asts, 2 turnovers
CJ 18 pts, 2 boards and asts, 4 tos, two blocks
TC 23 pts, 5 boards, 2 asts, 3 tos
Daniel 6 points, 4 boards

Jtt and Craig bury their first Shots
This game is unfair. Ld, chas, weaver, and reyshawn Terry all are on the HFs. They are somehow down by 2 early.
