There is a million of these guys in the NBA. 6 ft 6 swing men with a decent jumper. They are literally a dime a dozen. He will be lucky to get 5 minutes a game if he even makes the team
WTH you talking about? If you can read I did not say he was an exact player like Kevin Durant correct? Having similar mechanics and being the same player is different because of many factors. C'mon son read. As for the name, yeah I've been calling this basketball shit for years as well as putting my time in on the court. This messageboard is not the only outlet for everyone's life
real talk? i was thinkin this SAME DAMN SHIT. thought i was the only nigga that seen that....he only went left, ONCE and that was off the dribble...never seen a spin to the left of finish with the left, not even with a dunk. nigga better get on it...we figured that shit out in a short vid, niggas in the NBA gonna shut that shit down.
Often the difference between the NBA and the D-league is that in the NBA if you have a weakness or a tendency most players are good enough to exploit it. That said dude does seem to have a few tools that can fit well with the Heat needs... One he has some size (at least in terms of wing span 6'11), has a good outside shot, he is very athletic and can attack the rim.. What we cannot see is his baskeball IQ and how he is able to adapt to the Heat system , how he handles tough defense, the speed of his game vs the NBA speed, and his defense.
He does look a lot more polished than a young J.J. Hickson who the Cavs sent over to spend a summer working on his game with LeBron.. Likewise I would like to see how good this kid can be working on his game one on one with LeBron.
More like a Kawhi Leonard type especially with the huge wingspan, however he has the body frame to put on another 25 pounds, and if he is able to get that, he would be even more like Leonard.
