Fastest Player with the ball

Postby iSASO » March 2nd, 2012, 6:24 pm

Who is the fastest player in the league at bringing the ball up the floor in transition? I've heard a couple of names tossed out today but I wondered what everyone thought.

Moore is definately fast! The broadcaster for the WSU game said Ragland and then came back and mentioned that it might be Antoine Young during the CU broadcast? Those PF us on shockernet think it's Demetric Williams. Anyone else I'm leaving out? I think all have shown that extra gear this season.

As fast as you think Nic Moore is bringing up the ball, I think Bryant Allen on our team has him beat. The guy has NFL kick return speed.

What about Austin Chatman? He has got a big time motor.

Downing for MSU is pretty fast off the dribble too.

I'm voting for Chatman and Williams.

Chatman is instant quick as well as fast.

I don't know if Deon Mitchell is quite as fast as the other guys but he has an extremely quick first step and some nasty quick moves to the basket.

Altman once said that Antoine Young had the quickest first step of any player he has ever coached.

The consensus is that Austin Chatman is even faster than Young. If it is a race brining the ball up the floor, no question that Chatman is faster.

In watching the games of opponents this year, Bryant Allen struck me as being the fastest player on an opposing team.
