Yuki Ishikawa is 6'3 while Kurek is 6'9... should not be compared in anyway. They are both strong in their own position and has own abilities as a player. Let's just enjoy watching them play. Love them both.
Kurek tall 6'9 Yuki tall 6'3 Kurek has more than 7-8 years of global experience. At that time, Yuki was only 20 years old, coming on a world-class program for the first time. The people who were comparing both of them are thinking. This match since 2016
Is that... even a question? Kurek is the MVP of World Championships, former European & World League champion, multimedalist of other international competitions, two time Olympian. Ishikawa is young and promising, but comparing them at this point doesn't make any sense. Also, the hair on Kurek's head (among other things) indicates that this is old footage ;P
All things considered I think Ishikawa, Yuki is more versatile especially on defense. His dives, ball handling and blocking are superior to Kurek. I would even say Yuki's service and spiking are at par or better than Bartoz. Yuki is better!!! 👍🇯🇵👏
