The Smartest & Classiest player





Tab mentioned they should edit the video to just watch how Dillion Boucher works of the ball, his picks his miss direction etc. his spacing and cuts to draw defense to him to open others.  
This is one of the 1st times I’ve seen a player just score 2 points, but a whole team coming away awed at how good and effective he was.  In the huddle during the game Chot turns to Tab, this guy is really smart.  Jason on the bus says grabe .. ang galing nag drop pass , paano nakita yun.   While Larry Fonacier said grabe yung basketball IQ in Dillion.  Before our games in Wellington and Auckland (Dilion was a reinforcement) , I asked Chot if he wanted Dillion Boucher to have a word with the team, Chot said the problem is the players don’t even know who he is,  it’s safe to say after the Wellington and Auckland games they do now.  After the Auckland game Larry approached me if I could get a pic with Dillion and him.   They say the Auckland game could be Dillion last competitive game, I just have to hand it to him , what a class act, this guy had no obligation to play for either  Wellington or much more the Rangers,  yet he did .  He basically saved my ass from turning those 2 games into laughers. (BTW of the many players I approached, imports included it was only Dilion who agreed to play as a reinforcement for the Rangers)

Here is an interview with Dillion by FIBA
