    Czyz playing in D.C.

    in the Capital Classic Sunday. At the risk of having my rose-tinted lenses challenged, I'd be very interested to get the impressions of anyone who attends. He might be able to display some of his skills in a game like this, as the mano-a-mano thing appeals to him more than some Duke recruits. He will be in the slam dunk contest, maybe three-point shooting.

    Ralph Sampson Jr. will also be playing.

    Looks like it will be shown on the Mid Atlantic Sports Network

    Too bad MASN is not in HD... at least for Cox subscribers.

    And Time Warner doesn't carry it at all - they are still in court arguing about what tier it would be in.
    Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

    Do we get MASN? I'm not sure I've seen it, what channel is it?

    "And Time Warner doesn't carry it at all - they are still in court arguing about what tier it would be in."

    Yep. And Time-Warner actually lost an arbitration hearing and they're still fighting it.

    Ironic, given it's being played in the Comcast Center. The blogger for the Reno paper said he thought it was being televised only by MASN in the D.C. area, but wasn't sure.

    That's one of many reasons I switched to Direct TV in the Triangle - they carry MASN and many, many more HD channels.

    Have watched good part of first half. Typical all-star game with sloppiness, etc.

    Impressed with Czyz. First word would be "athlete". Runs very well, jumps very well, really strong frame (he looks very strong but doesn't appear to be cut in a weight-training sense).

    Believe he has 10 points at half. Did not start, but has played about half the time for US team, which is up by 15 or so at half. Finished the first half with an absolutely spectacular spinning dunk. (Apparently he did not compete in slam dunk contest, and the annoucer said he would have been "an odds-on choice to win"). Has scored mostly close to the basket with short shots and an offensive rebound basket.

    Seems to have lateral quickness as well as good speed. Really interesting prospect; can't compare him to other Duke players off-hand.

    He looks good - I've seen video of him during the regular season but it's nice to see him live. He is surprisingly strong and VERY athletic. He is very coordinated - loves to dunk...he had a nice 360 in the 1st half. Showed signs of defensive ability (even during an all-star game).

    He just missed a windmill dunk - SHOULD SEE BIG MINUTES NEXT YEAR

    MVP of the game

    Finished with 23 points (9-14? FG, I believe) and 9 rebounds. Looks good at the FT line, too.

    Typical all-star game disclaimers aside, this guy looks like a player. IMO, if he reacts well to coaching, and learns Duke defense, he could get 20+ minutes a game next year, and be even better down the line.

    Does anyone know of a website that might have some highlights from the game?
