@chipchiperson679 Месяц назад

And that’s why Brooke Lopez isn’t an All-Star, but a role-player. Big men centers need to excel using their size in the low post. Jokic Giannis AD all do that and get most of their points that way, and you actually had a clue about basketball, you’d know that.

That fact that he picked up basketball as a sophomore. Yeah, I'm picking this guy if I had an NBA team. That means he could end up with Tim Duncan skills. Those types of guys get the fundamentals down and always get the same stats every night.

Name me other 7 ft plus college basketball players that averaged 23+ ppg and 15+ rpg while also shooting 75%+ from the FT line. That’s right, you cant. No 7 footer in college has eber been that dominant before, most can barely run and move let alone score more than 10 points a game.

@gw5309 Месяц назад

I contend that playing hockey helped him immensely with his balance and coordination. Even from his Freshman year, it was apparent he wasn't the typical awkward 7 footer

@gaffle7646 Месяц назад

I don't agree or at least not much. If it were SOCCER, then you'd have a point with the footwork being helped but with hockey, you're gliding and skating. Balance is cool but how much balance goes into playing with basketball compared to much needed foot movement? Anyway... dude could have been developing drippling / shooting / defensive skills those early years had he not wasted his height on hockey. Oddly, at 7'4", his wingspan (arms) appear to be short. I may be deceived by his bulk though. @@gw5309
