At 34" Dick might be in the wrong career.
I dont think anyone really questioned if he was athletic, but his vertical explosiveness was in question because the college game just makes it hard to show. He had a few highlights early in the year, but he didnt really show a huge vertical most of the season.great number for anthony black. not surprising, but i there there are a lot of draft nerds out there who don't understand that he's a legit elite athlete as a 6'7 pg.
that's my point, you had to watch closely and watch him a lot and if you did, you saw the vertical explosiveness - if you didn't, you missed it and you likely underestimated how effortlessly he can get on top of the rim.I dont think anyone really questioned if he was athletic, but his vertical explosiveness was in question because the college game just makes it hard to show.
