I think like I've written this and I keep saying it at least swings from. Villanova at -- he looks so good good for him so good -- Collins. He's been what actually is that sees you give him in the open court that's what -- want to do and what college is done is he's -- accidentally. Wings up with Jrue Holiday and and he's playing defense on -- court to make Jrue Holiday better. Collins said today dusty set out outside I I really wanna see the two of them on the court together so -- handling the ball holiday running you know with and -- All those people artistry why was we'd go into the pros may be the replica reason why it happened that we're absolutely because as a surprise bases. He was a contributor big time obviously a starter for Jay Wright is this true we. Should we be so surprised at what we're seeing training camp where he where he got hurt Mike knows this better than anybody covering Villanova. What's that he was asked to do stuff last year that that is in his game he's a true point guard he's a facilitator. Who can also scored less ridiculous fans who is injured -- yet and he was asked to score exist to be the player on the team. He is a great complementary player I thought I'm not kidding I looked this kid I could see him being a starting outlets and in the end -- This will sound wrong and that you want to view it sure. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- He will be there one year. May -- -- every stage for three team felt partly if -- wasn't good but I think mostly wouldn't be used to tell you he had as much talent and the talent always wasn't. You know can always surfers who -- more of what. He's got talent so yeah good for him I don't think -- get drafted what I thought yeah it's always hit legacy got that a reward he belongs like. Or Bob what what players currently in the NBA would you compare him to the style of game his physique he's 61. 195. Which I guess is he thought he he is stuff that you could I gotta tell you -- in that video he looks and made -- little small -- the last few slight of build and snaps for young yet. I'll tell it's funny because Jrue Holiday out but this was on believe. He he he said quickness of of what Russell Westbrook that's John Wall there he he threw all of that extremely fast and Brandon Jennings after he said he has that much quickness. The way he's under control is similar to a Jameer Nelson to me. Where it's speed speed speed stop on -- -- speed again. Where the defenders are just he is never out of control when he takes jump shots they're wide open eighteen footer because he's done something to get himself wide open. You know that welcomed Texans got an all NBA player -- it is to me been the most surprising god by Bard Sixers can't.

John Gonzalez and Marshall Harris recap the Phillies' winPhillies get to walk off way to cap off a winning homestand when the series against the reds died when you look at. How well this team played this week you know there were some ups and downs. He has been a big win and Charlie mine it's an absolutely huge went and not just for Charlie and and his mind that the team and its actual record because. And look they would they went through that scoring drought. From Saturn better from Friday night through Sunday and then all of a sudden sort of in a way that I don't think anybody expected. They all seem sort of surprised by it. Where they break out of that scoring slump and then not only break out of it but also win the game with with two harm could really they had two chances to have a walk off win. But Cliff Lee got stuck on first base help but it was a it was a good it was a good weekend from another strong outing for John some bad news that is when Ryan Howard he's got. Bad left knee and Charlie and doesn't expect him to play tomorrow also Carlos I haven't MRI. On Monday to determine what's up. With his hamstring how big are these injuries absolutely Brigham and when you look at a team that has struck despite the fact that they won the game on Sunday. They're team that struggled to score and those are two of your better bats. In that lineup and both Howard and grocery said that they were database so you don't know when you're gonna get these guys back it didn't sound like they were in any danger at least not a Howard's. Side of of being on the DL right now but right now nobody knows I but the good news is the next team up. Is those struggling shall we say the floundering fish the Miami Marlins the Phillies get to play them for three games even the bring. Back power forward in the five man rotation how do you like that are shaping up the least experience I think for the Phillies you gotta be pretty excited after coming off of a series where you were you squeak out this last one here after having his scoring John you see the Marlins had the the Marlins in the Mets have been. Sort of panacea for everything that ails the Phillies this season so for them. Then it's looking pretty good and certainly they have forgot what happened last on the face to face when they dropped the last two of four games at right here at Citizens Bank Park for John is Marshall Harris.
