Memphis Tigers guard Damion Baugh (left) drives the lane against Raw Talent Elite defender Kenny Isnord during an exhibition game in Nassau, Bahamas, on Aug. 18. Baugh was the star of the show on the trip, and so impressive that coach Penny Hardaway called him a mix of Rajon Rondo and Gary Payton. (Mark Weber/Daily Memphian)
