Rebounding and blocked shots are two of the most universal things that carry over from College to the pros.

Blocked shots are one of the things with the least carryover.....
The amount of guys who averaged 2 blocks in college who can hardly get .5 blocks per game is huge. The NBA game is just so much more spaced and athletic it hardly translates unless you're absolutely elite and a player who is going to stay near the rim.
It’s a specific correlation with guards for some reason. Keyonte had a very high rebound % for a guard.
I take it back, watching Bilal is not fun. It is brutal. You have to watch Kuz and Poole dribble and shoot everything…
But it was cool to see some possessions with Bilal matched up with Luka. Might post some clips later. Another nice game 10/8/2/1 on 4/5 shooting.

Must have had a good 4th? Only had 3 points at the end of the 3rd when I stopped watching. Doesn’t get the ball much on offense. Does work on the boards in limited time every game it seems.
He was 3/3 so can’t complain about that, but he was still frozen from the offense. Best play was blocking Luka’s step back and catching an alley oop on the other end. The first play after Poole/Kuz got subbed out he also hit an open pull up 3 after the defense went under the screen. Very nice plays on their own, but I hesitate to say he had a good quarter when he touched the ball like 5 times. Made the most of it I guess.
I’d be more encouraged with some more 6/16 games instead of 4/5 games….but he ain’t getting many touches.
Deni is a better player than him right now and is playing well. I guess they could bench Poole lol.
We cant really, unless we give up Collins.
Collins would become a 25M bench player (I think Deni is a slight upgrade over him) and Brice/TH would have no path to rotation minutes without injuries (Deni needs way more minutes than Fontecchio is getting).
Plus Deni and Collins combined salaries (40M) would be a bad combo to build around for the long run.
