Golden Nuggets: 20 Questions with Harper Kamp

This week's guest on Faraudo's 20 questions is Harper Kamp.

Your five-man Dream Team, including yourself in the lineup: Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, myself and Tim Duncan. We could do some damage.
...

Besides Cal, the Pac-10 school with the best basketball fans: I’ll go with Washington State. They show up early and don’t let up the whole game.

The worst: The Washington State fans are also the nastiest. They’ll pick up any dirt on you they can and they’ll say it out loud.

If you could be an Olympic athlete, other than basketball, your sport/event: Soccer

The sport you refuse to watch: There’s not many. As much as I love to play baseball, I can’t watch it much.

The actor who plays you in the movie version of your life: Jerome (Randle) always tells me I look like Justin Timberlake. I can’t handle that. I’ll take George Clooney.
...

Least favorite kind of music: I’d have to go with pop music — Britney Spears-type stuff.

Best advice you ever got: Be humble and be hungry.

Favorite meal your mother cooks: Spaghetti — no doubt about it.

Food you will not eat: I’ve never tried anything that I haven’t liked and I’ve never seen anything that I haven’t tried. Maybe like cockroaches. I’ll stay away from insects.

Three people in history you’d like to have dinner with: John Wooden, Gandhi and William James — he’s my favorite author.

The smartest guy on the Cal team: Brandon Smith. He seems like a smart kid.

The funniest: D.J Seeley. He’s quiet and he’s not funny to a lot of people but he makes me laugh.

The best athlete: PC.

After the jump Ted Miller looks at Cal's recruiting needs, a WR visits Cal this weekend, men's bball routs the Ducks, and women's bball contains the potent Oregon offense in a solid road win.

I dunno how much of it was “complete game defensively” and how much of it was “Oregon couldn’t make a single shot no matter how easy or uncontested it was”.

Some interesting stats

What’s with Brandon Smith shooting only 36.8% from the FT line?
Further, he is shooting only 27.3% from the floor overall, and has scored just 21 points in 146 minutes of action. I’m jumping ahead here, but Monty can’t start the kid next year with those kind of numbers. Gary Franklin Jr, the job is yours.

Jorge was somewhat erratic with the ball last year, and committed many turnovers. However, this year, he has the best Assist to Turnover ratio (39 to 15). Still, something tells me Monty will use him off the ball next year at the 2 spot and let Franklin bring the ball up.

We all know that Randle is money from the line (92.7%). And we have a pretty good idea about PC (81%) and Theo (77.8%) being consistent from the line. But when you add Boykin at 80.6%, you have a tough team to beat in a foul-comeback strategy game.

With one more recruit slot open this year, and only MSF’s gone next year, Monty will likely bring in 2 recruits for the 2011 class. How much you want to bet they will both be post players?!

Smith’s a frosh. He’s working his way in there, he’ll be fine. Franklin’s probably not going to light the world on fire his first year either.

When a guy has a higher 3 point shooting percentage (40%) than FT percentage I think you can throw everything out as an incredibly small sample size. Besides, he shot 79% from the line in high school (Source: his bio HERE).
