He's developing a finesse game. He's not just a big guy. Yet, if you forget that he can play down low, he'll punish you. He is so hard to stop because he is so versatile.
It really has gone as good as we could have planned. A big part of it was playing against teams from San Jose. So, we doubled the amount of tournaments we participated in (from two to four). We went out and scheduled games against teams with playoff-caliber talent.
Our game plan was working. We were doing what we wanted. Then Seaside just took off.
He had 38 points and 20 rebounds against Terra Nova earlier in the year, but, more than anything, I think Jorge is a leader now. We made him a captain this week and he's taking it very personal.
I wanted us to get out on the road so the kids could bond and mature. I think they've done that, they've learned how to play and win away from home. It's important, especially with a young team like this.
Jorge is the complete package. He is a great team player. We wanted him to always have the ball, but he constantly was finding ways to get it to the open guy. He's very unselfish.
It's just natural talent. You can't coach that stuff. There were times in the game where Seaside's athletic ability just took over.
We were two big shots away. If Camacho gets that tip in, who knows.
The biggest improvement from last year was his footwork. And he has such great instincts. He knows where he should be at all times on the court.
