Trevor Lacey is on his official visit to Kansas this weekend, and Bill Self is making his pitch on why he would be a great fit for the Jayhawks.
If you spoke to Trevor’s AAU coach, Mark Komara, it doesn’t matter which school he decides to attend he will fit in perfectly.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]“I think he is the best player to come out of Alabama in 25 years, maybe since (former Philadelphia 76er) Andrew Toney,” said Komara.
“There’ve been some good ones from Alabama — Gerald Wallace, Marvin Stone, Charles Barkley way before him, DeMarcus Cousins, (Eric) Bledsoe. Trevor put 30 on Bledsoe in the state tournament before he went to Kentucky,” Komara added of Los Angeles Clippers player Bledsoe.
Komara is also impressed with Lacey’s leadership and his control of the team on the court.
Lacey is a “natural leader,” Komara said.
“He has no fear. If there are three or four minutes to go, you give him the ball to win the game. You want him to have the ball down the stretch. He knows the game. I’ve coached six McDonald’s All-Americans. His basketball IQ is way above any of them,” Komara added.
Komara went to so far to compare Lacey to one of the greats of all time.
“He’s like a smaller version of Magic Johnson. He makes basketball look so simple. Kentucky … (coach John) Calipari thinks he’s the biggest secret in the class (of 2011).”
Trevor Lacey will be in Kansas till Sunday, and then there is talk he might give NC State a look sometime next week.
It has been reported that Trevor will announce his decision on May 18th at 2pm.
