[Tyler Metcalf @tmetcalf11]

Loved Quentin Coleman's game last night vs Texas Tech. His shot making was awesome, but the way he crashed the boards, played through contact on drives, competed on defense, and set up teammates was what stood out the most to me. He's one of my favorite players in this draft that I've been dangerously high on.
