Game just started on FSN. 4 UCLA commits in it, and AZ bound Emmanuel Negadu as well.

Drew Gordon (UCLA commit) looks very solid, and Derozan (USC commit) looks like he will be a star. Negedu (AZ commit) is playing out of position in this game, so he didn't really stand out but does look athletic.

Gordon was a bit misleading in this game he's not nearly as good offensively as you might think from this game. The world team was so tall they had a bunch of guys who didn't block out and a quick leaper like Gordon was able to take advantage of that repeatedly for putbacks.

I like his aggressiveness on defense for a kid that had a very injury plagued senior year he's not lost any of his toughness. He's a pure 5 right now and a bit small for a 5 but he'll be a very solid player at UCLA.

So far to me it seems Holiday is the clear cut star of UCLA's class, Anderson will contribute right away because of defense and leadership(needs to work on his shot). Lee is pretty raw he's athletic and talented but needs to polish his skills he may have to play a lot early(if Westbrook leaves) but he's a bit behind Holiday and Anderson.
