When asked how the 6-foot-4 swingman compares to the best players he has coached over the years, Russell replied without hesitation, “Skill-wise, at this stage in his development, Shakur [Daniel] is the best that I’ve seen.” So who is this young man that Russell speaks so highly of? Daniel is an Ajax, Ontario resident, who made his national debut in the United States last summer at the ‘Future of the Game East’ camp, hosted by John Lucas in Hampton, Virginia. There the Canadian youngster displayed the ability to play all five positions on the floor. Most that have seen Daniel would agree that versatility is the trademark of his game, not in a sense that he has trouble fitting a position, but because he is naturally gifted enough to perform any task asked of him on the court. “He can do it all,” said Russell of Daniel. “He is quick, athletic, can collect rebounds and bring the ball up the court himself. He takes pride on defense and can defend the other team’s best player. This guy is a gym rat and is always working on his game. Shakur [Daniel] makes an impact in almost every possible way.” Russell went as far to say that Daniel could become the best player that Canada has produced. That bestowal may be difficult to concur with when considering the acclaim that Andrew Wiggins has gained as the consensus number one high school player in the world this year. ]]> Sat, 27 Apr 2013 01:34:30 -0400 http://basketballbuzz.ca/high-school/no-pressure-class-2018-canadian-64-guard-shakur-danier-advertised-as-better-than-wiggins/ http://basketballbuzz.ca/boys/canadians-andrew-wiggins-tyler-ennis-continue-to-impress-at-2013-jordan-classic-all-american-game/ Sun, 14 Apr 2013 06:39:25 -0400 http://basketballbuzz.ca/boys/canadians-andrew-wiggins-tyler-ennis-continue-to-impress-at-2013-jordan-classic-all-american-game/ http://basketballbuzz.ca/high-school/should-andrew-wiggins-skip-the-ncaa/ Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:23:15 -0400 http://basketballbuzz.ca/high-school/should-andrew-wiggins-skip-the-ncaa/ http://basketballbuzz.ca/high-school/aaron-gordon-aerial-assault-earns-mvp-andrew-wiggins-shines-at-2013-mcdonalds-all-american-game/ CHICAGO, IL (BasketballBuzz) - Arizona commit Aaron Gordon put on an Aerial assault with nine dunks on his way to a game-high 24 points and MVP honors as the West defeated the East 110-99 at the 2013 and 36th McDonald's All-American Game at the United Center. Gordon's (6-8, 220lbs) size and freakish athleticism were on full display for Team West as the Arizona Wildcats recruit put on a show with nine impressive dunks that are sure to continue the comparisons to the Clippers Blake Griffin. The number one player in the class of 2013, Canadian Andre Wiggins (Vaughn, ON/ Huntington Prep) continued his upwards stream towards greatness by putting together a silent 19 points on the biggest stage of high school basketball. Majority of Wiggins team-high points came from the foul line where he went 7-of-8. On a night were all eyes on the next crop on NBA stars Wiggins played calm and didn't force much shooting also a team best 6-of-10 from the floor to lead the East in scoring in 24 minutes. Wiggins who also added four rebounds and two steals seemed most engaged when matched up against Jabari Parker the #2-ranked player in the 2013 Class. The two future NBA players guarded each other for much of the night with Wiggins forcing the hometown star (Simeon/Chicago) and Duke signee to pick up four fouls in the process. Parker helped his team by showing his all-around touch around the basket and finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals while propelling the West to victory. “[The matchup against Wiggins] went pretty good,” Parker said. “He is super athletic so I had to overcommit on the drive but then he can shoot so it was really difficult.” “Me and Jabari, we are friends, both great players,” Wiggins said. “I know I’m going to see his face a lot at the next level and the level after that. I consider it a great learning experience. I’m just glad to be here. Going against Jabari is just the best going against the best.” Like the case in most all-star games its tough to gauge a players full potential, but in Wiggins case, like in so many other occasions, be it Canadian or American high school, AAU circuit or international FIBA competition, it was once again clearly evident that the road to the 2014 NBA overall pick is still secure despite his minimal showing. The athleticism, the spin move and rawness that we've all become accustomed to seeing were one minimal display and, minus a missed routine dunk, a free-throw and a few more minutes we once again witness the number player in the 2013 class prove that hes worth all the buzz. For Wiggins the All-Star showcase continues as the Canadian will try to lead the World Team to a victory at the 2013 Jordan Brand Classic International Game on April 13th at the Barclay's Centre in Brooklyn New York. ]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 23:51:21 -0400 http://basketballbuzz.ca/high-school/aaron-gordon-aerial-assault-earns-mvp-andrew-wiggins-shines-at-2013-mcdonalds-all-american-game/
