I would be more interested in assists for Mister East.

I'd disagree. Unless I'm reading the room wrong. I think Sean East has had the least amount of buzz. Judging by the box score, he might be last on the Frosh depth chart at this point playing 30+ min a game and only scoring 7ish points. I'm not reading much into the points, but if you're playing 30+ minutes it's telling. Mitchell got out in 13 in one game.
I think East was better known than Jackson as his team won the Indiana high school championship. He was teammates with Romeo Langford, now with the Celtics and I believe he was the 2nd best player on the team. As for the VI trip, he scored 10, 7 and 7 and he had 5 assists in each game. He had 4 total turnovers in the 2 box scores I saw. Assuming he had the same rate (2 turnovers) in the other game, 15-6 A/TO ratio is not bad. Of course, the opposition was awful, but everyone's stats were against the same teams.

As it should. I'm still chuckling at it all as well.
