I Yearn for Cockburn

In 90 games he had 45 assist. The guy makes Al Jefferson look like John Stockton. And eh gets the ball a lot. It's not like Udoka not having many assist. And Udoka actually had more assist per game despite having the ball much less. Black hole is an understatement
 
Cockburn has a chance. His best case scenario is a player like Andre Drummond with more defensive awareness and who doesn't make a living rebounding his own misses.

Whether the league still cares about this kind of player is another question. He might just get completely lost with NBA speed and spacing. And it would be nice if he'd keep his head up and make a pass once in a while.

Maybe he can end up like Ian Mahimi as a slightly better than average outcome.

He has nowhere near the athleticism or conditioning that Drummond has.
 
He would not. Lofton was extremely overweight during the season and was still one of the best rebounders in college basketball. He got into better shape at the combine and looked great. He's a better athlete than Cockburn and way way more skilled.
Ok, there's things he does better than Kofi, like passing. But to say he's a better athlete... Nah. Kofi has better athleticism.
 
Cockburn definitely looks the part. He just has to really improve his basketball IQ. Interested to see how he picks things up in SL if the offense isn't running through him.
