How does he compare athletically to Kessler?Filipowski definitely isnt a great athlete, but I think he is an underrated athlete and has some athletic potential once his body fills out.
How does he compare athletically to Kessler?
btw I was arguing with people about Kessler lack of athleticism but I have been eating some crow as the season goes on. Last night he had two dunks (one was an alley oop from THT) where his head was right at or just barely below the rim. He got up more than I thought he could.
filipowski is a different sort of athlete. his game and build (though not chiseled like Lauri) is more similar to markkanen - but not near the vertical athlete markkanen is. he's a good enough athlete for a 7 footer who can put it on the floor, shoot threes, has a post game, etc.How does he compare athletically to Kessler?

This.His skillset is useful for every team in this era.
In the play starting at 0:29, GG sets then slips a screen to dive to the rim for a dunk over some wing-sized dude.
Also, nice self-created drive from the 3pt line to the rim starting at 0:54.

of course, there is the potential of getting some assets back in the collins trade or dumping a player like Gay.I was thinking about whether would I prefer GG to Collins. Trading for Collins means we have his contract but if we drafted GG we wouldn't have his contract. I am not comparing or comping players was just thinking out loud. Collins seems like more of a sure thing as draft picks can be a crap shoot but I think I would prefer to have the potential and less payout. I think GG would fit very well next to Kessler and Markkanen
Nahhhh,I think he is pretty similar athletically to Larmarcus Aldridge when he first got to the spurs. Not very explosive but moves really well. Seeing some of these mocks with him in the late 20's is insane to me. The guy should be a late lottery pick. His skillset is useful for every team in this era.
