every nba player is athletic to some extent. but the ones that are constantly out running, jumping and getting through their opponents on any nights those guys are just unique. they just have that extra edge. also they make it seem effortless.
this guys athletic ability shows you that its not always necessary to build up muscle mass in order to jump higher, sometimes working on the responsiveness of your nervous system and actually practicing being explosive with light weight works a lot better. i kno he is a genetic freak, but it must also be about the way he trains and lives, it cant ALL be genetics.
KBTITAN24 kobe is not as explosive as this guy, wiggins is 6'8 so so they cant be compared. but if you talk about athleticism alone zach trumps kobe and probably even wiggins because he is shorter than wiggins and can jump probably as high.
lsaye Kobe Bryant- 13th Pick, 7.6ppg, 1.9rpg, 1.3apg 41%FG Won Dunk Contest Zach Lavine- 13th Pick, 7.6ppg, 2.2rpg, 3.1apg 41%FG Won Dunk Contest Lavine just he him compared to Kobe. Not in athleticism but play style.
i dont know what it is but he looks long for someone thats 6'5. hes only 19 so if he grows taller he will be a beast with the handle, shot, and hops. im rooting for him.
I've got a feeling we'll see him play a lot of 2 guard this season. Already have Mo Williams backing up Rubio so I can imagine that he could come off the bench to fill in for Kevin Martin.
