Welcome Karmari Newman

Mega-boner.

Between you and Snowflake, we might need to see if we can get Viagra as a sponsor here.

DETROIT -- Karmari Newman does not mind admitting when he has an off night.

On Friday night, in arguably the biggest game of the season for Newman and his Detroit East English Village boys basketball teammates, he had one of those off nights - even though it could have been worse.

Shooting 5-for-15 from the field, Newman was 1-for-8 from 3-point range and 5-for-8 from the free-throw line. Although he managed 16 points, it was a far cry from his 42-point performance on Tuesday.

Man, that kid has some range. At least 3 or more 3's from well past NBA range

is it bad that im licking my lips about this kid and what he "could" bring to Mason next season and beyond?

At this point anyone who can shoot the ball from deep is something Mason sadly needs, and hopefully Newman and co, can be a part of that solution.

He'll be a piece of the puzzle. We had a few parts this season. More next and that will reflect in more wins. We'll not be a complete team until year 3 at the earliest.

Yes, I think even Jared from Subway would agree that sounds bad, Steve.

Steve must have a "Foot-Long" for 18 year olds who can shoot! PiKapp, you have competition!!

Not sure it will result in more wins next year. We lose some pretty big pieces as well. But i agree that year 3 is when we should start to see what we have.

Vote early and often. We've got some ground to make up for this kid.

Kamari Newman is starting to see the ball go through the net and that's a problem for everyone we face #MasonMBB

Interesting stat on the broadcast today: Mason is 12-2 if Karmari Newman makes a 3-point shot. After his three in the first half, that's 13-2.

      Heck of a game by Kamari Newman, already with a career high 12 pts and two dagger threes off of the bench.

   Sneaky fun development this season: Karmari plays great on-ball defense

I'm wondering if Kamari could have the longest range of any shooter we've had at Mason. I know guys like Mike Hargett, Brian Miller, Curtis McCants, Isaiah Tate and Lamar Butler all had good range, but I swear some of the shots Kamari hits are from NBA 3-point distance.

The best part about that is he has also shown lately he can get to the rim, so teams that come out to cover him also have to worry about him going past them. Love the potential this kid has to be a consistent scorer for the next three years.

Donald Ross had no limit to his range. I remember him crossing half court and jacking up shots like it was nothing.

Man, I forgot all about Donald Ross. That guy could get a defensive rebound and throw up a shot in the same motion.

 

[dr. gunnie]

I'm not going to lie - Kamari is my favorite player. If I had to order a jersey, I think it would be a #10

 

[Petey Buckets]

The three point shooting is great but what I'm really excited about with Karmari is how much ability he's shown slashing and driving to the rim. It's easy to find knock-down shooters at the college level but guards who can score at the rim are worth their weight in gold. Karmari's offensive game is really well-rounded, more so than Ian's and maybe even Jaire's at this point. He also fights over screens and plays intense defense on the ball. Absolutely love his game. Another great find by the staff.

He seems to have been overlooked as a high school player; not uncommon in high school recruiting, obviously. But he was the runner up (or at least in contention, I believe) for Mr. Basketball in Michigan. He was known as a very prolific scorer coming in, and it looks like that's going to translate well to D1. His on-ball defense is a cherry on top. I was equally impressed with his defense against UR as I was with his offensive outburst.
