Is that just a guess? Because your last guess was way off?Good for him. I have eyes. He’s not a good player. He’ll be a bum in this league.

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.
Ok, there's things he does better than Kofi, like passing. But to say he's a better athlete... Nah. Kofi has better athleticism.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.

I'm ready to see both guys in the SL. Hope we get a Lofton/Cockburn matchup! I think both guys will put up good stats.Bro was hooping with 30%+ body fat and dunking...

Hard to imagine Cockburn isn't an NBA player. a legit 7' in shoes, 7'4.25" wingspan, 8% body fat, solid athlete for his size, chiseled frame, legitimately skilled as a basketball player and put up big numbers in college. yeah, centers are de-valued in today's league, etc, but it just seems like there has to be a place for a guy like that in the nba even if just as a 10 minute/game back up.Cockburn can actually play though.
Ahh yes, Araujo was the 8th pick in a draft because it was so obvious he could not play.Cockburn can actually play though.
There are at least two 2nd round to undrafted big men like Cockburn ever year. They usually have much better shot-blocking numbers though.Hard to imagine Cockburn isn't an NBA player. a legit 7' in shoes, 7'4.25" wingspan, 8% body fat, solid athlete for his size, chiseled frame, legitimately skilled as a basketball player and put up big numbers in college. yeah, centers are de-valued in today's league, etc, but it just seems like there has to be a place for a guy like that in the nba even if just as a 10 minute/game back up.
Lofton was undoubtedly much much much much better than Cockburn in SL.Undersized, no athleticism, overweight. Cockburn would destroy Lofton.
