[Franisdaman]

Patrick McCaffery's AAU team played in the Twin Cities this weekend (May 11-13).

The team played at 11:45 am Saturday morning (May 12) at Wayzata High School

The team is loaded and includes

5* Matthew Hurt
4* Patrick McCaffery
Iowa target Tyrell Terry


From the Minneapolis Star Tribune article:


The X-factor for D1 Minnesota this year has been 6-8 forward Patrick McCaffery, committed to play for Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, his father. Every player on the roster is a Division I prospect, including Minnesotans Robert Jones from Prior Lake and Jamison Battle from DeLaSalle.

“I definitely think this team has the potential to win the gauntlet,” Terry said. “We’ve done well so far. Sky’s the limit for us. I don’t think there are many teams that can beat us. We’ll just see where it goes.”

Terry's stats so far are impressive. Team stats 2nd in ppg at 15.4, 2nd in rb at 5.2, 1st in assists at 5.7 apg. 5* Hurt is first in scoring and rebounds as you might expect.

Thanks for the info.

Patrick has some impressive ability.

Sounds like Patrick even played some lead guard this weekend, handling the ball a lot. I am skeptical of parts of his game, but his ball handling at his size is definitely strong.

But, not a true pg. do not want. I doubt he would come here with the coaches son playing at the same position anyways.

Whats their schedule for today? Hope that Patrick & Terry shine together!

I’m envisioning a strong off ball player who perhaps is never a volume/isolation scorer. The kind of player who gives you 10 points, 6 boards, 3 assists, 3 blocks who lives in transition and cutting/slashing in the half court.

I’m skeptical he’s a guy who you throw the ball to and tell him to get a bucket in the half court.

Hilarious post! Thank you

We will see how his strength progresses. Were you a fan of Aaron White? I see similaries there, with Patrick better off the dribble and white having better coordination. Similar leaping ability and size.

Right now I see Patrick as a quick, running PF in college. He can play SF on offense but not sure how he projects on D yet.

Probably correct. Has a very varied skill set. I'm sure people will complain if he doesn't score 20 points a game.

I will just leave this here for all of you to enjoy. Whoa.

Gotta love those ups.

Seriously. That is ridiculous. I cannot wait until he gets to campus.

 

[TKingpin]

Is it me or does he look a little bigger? Maybe “less thin” is a better way to put it?

I was actually going to mention that also, I think he does.

 

[Wyominghawk]

D1 Minnesota went 6 - 0 to win the tournament.

 

[jo2knight]

I hope p Mac gets that extra 3 inches on his vertical so he can head butt the rim.

Yeah, he's thin, but so are most of the other guys. He doesn't appear to be a toothpick anymore.

Runs and passes very well - really pretty athletic. Dunking is all fine and good, but will he be able to get to the rim?

 

[DodgerHawki]

He's gotten a lot better. Which is not surprising given his age. I know people have fixated about him putting on weight, but I am not sure that helps him a lot. His value will be in a player of his size and skill having the ability to put the ball on the floor, shooting and passing. And defending opponents and causing them trouble with his length and movement. Bulking him up doesn't really help him a lot, just my opinion.

He, Carton, Wieskamp. Yes please.

I agree. I am imaging a lineup of JBo/Connor, Wieskamp, Dailey/Moss, PMac and Garza and their ability to spread the floor. With that kind of spacing and anyone 1-4 being able to get by their man, it is going to create havoc and breakdowns for opposing defenses. I don’t worry about PMac getting to the rim at all. Any kind of collapsing by the defense is going to leave a shooter wide open, including Garza.

Kid had a nifty game. Much better ballhandler than one would think.

 

[Kurt Warner]

Very skilled very skilled, me likes

 

[L. Wade Childress]

You can tell he has spent a good deal of his career with the ball in his hands and/or running the floor. The downside to this is that he really lacks any fundamental back to the basket game. He can be effective but it is very funky, again similar to White. I would like to see him get a couple go to moves (particularly a drop step given his leaping ability) from the block as I think it would provide him some consistency and even more flexibility with the offense.

 

[BigOHawk]

Wow...count me in as impressed. Now, just for a moment imagine you don't know this kid, his name isn't McCaffrey and he hails from Chicago, what say you after watching this? We would drooling even more, he looks like another Aaron White to me, perhaps even more explosion and he can run the court like a deer, he's a junior this fall correct?

Patrick will be a senior this fall. He'll officially join the Hawkeyes a year from now.

Gotcha, thanks. He looks to have put on a few lbs. over the last two years...oh, to get a 4-star PG to go along with Weiskamp and the rest of the crew, c'mon down DJ!

DJ would be a major piece of the puzzle. We've been missing a player like him for a long time. DJ, Patrick and Joe would be a hell of a core to build around!

I don't see him playing with his back to the basket in college. There really is only room for once post player on the floor at a time. Everyone else needs to be able dribble, pass and drive.

He looks to be a pretty decent shot blocker for his size.

So your saying Aaron White? Yes, I'll take another please......

 

[kceasthawk]

People overlook that Patrick has been basically committed to Iowa since he was a young teen, not to mention his bout with thyroid cancer. He's bound to continue to mature the next year and a half.

 

[perryhawk]

Here's my WAG about Patrick and the comparison that I will make...I kind of see the JU and AW comparisons but I think his game is more like a taller and longer Jake Kelly at this point. I am not predicting a PG, but he will be a guy that can play every position expect maybe the post...for at least short stints.
