I'm curious if he has any athletic talent. Also, does anyone know much about him from the old days. Was he actually a competent rebounder and low post defender? Youtubes of him dunking on total scrubs won't translate to the NBA. |
competent defender back in the day. rebounding was sub par. seemed to be a guy who got rebounds if they came to his immediate vicinty. he wasnt a rodman or rebounder who was good at anticipating where it would come off and go get it (i.e., if it didnt come to him, he didnt get it). intensity in summer league seems much improved as opposed to college years. he is defintiely playing with a fire and more drive.
athletic talent and agility is on the low side, but he is moving better with the weight trimmed a bit. that is why i think it is a pipe dream for him to play the SF position.
i know nothing of his nbdl experiance to speak of.
