Long thread on Noah Penda, tough defensive wing with enough offense to contribute a bit.

I don't have a super strong opinion on Penda because I've only watched the 5 or 6 Cashiggy videos on him, but from what I've seen I haven't been impressed. I don't think his defense translates to the NBA because I don't think he's athletic enough to keep up with NBA guys.

He's OK, but not in my top 30 currently.

Video is split up into sections:

0:14 Shot Attempts
34:26 Rebounds
55:15 Defense

Back half of the video looks to be all defense. Someone can correct if I missed a section or 2.

His offensive footwork looks good (if a bit awkward on occasion) even if the finish is sometimes suspect. I like the willingness to try some of those moves.
Would like to think that it will look smoother and that he will finish better with more experience.

Thank you, very much appreciated. I will definitely be skipping the majority of the 20 minutes of rebounds, lol.

I was able to watch a little of the defensive highlights and while I'm very intrigued I have to say it's difficult to get a good read because the level of competition is so low. He definitely sticks out in a good way for being able to move at his size.
