Very. He needs to add some strength but plenty of time to do that and a huge body.. and a REALLY smart kid. His parents are wealthy so while all the other kids are playing the summer AAU circuit they have him working with NBA shooting coaches, dribbling, and then he plays in occasional games.

I watched him once at practice and was blown away at how effortlessly he swishing half-court shots.. like from the fingertips.. just a flip.
If he adds more strength, there's no NBA comp I can think of... a 40% perimeter shooting 7'1 guy that shoots like a SG and has played lots of PG for his team. Could be become a dominant (truly) PF.

I've only seen him play once or twice, but based on this description he sounds Dirk-ish?

Yeah.. but probably a little more post play vs. perimeter play. In other words, he is not romanced by playing away from the basket but definitely can if needed to.

^That may have been confusing. All I'm saying is he sees himself as a highly skilled PF/C that can step out and hit shots but knows his place is in the post. (a good thing)

He said "if he adds more strength". So in case he adds strength he'd be DeMarcus Durantzki ;) But combining positive aspects of these 3 players isn't an easy task to achieve. Wasn't sure if I should say Dwight or DeMarcus, but above average athleticism/explosiveness is what I see in him at best. So basically you take Cousins frame and rebounding and pair it with everything else Durantzki do...Shooting, Dribbling, Passing, Leadership, BBIQ

He's more athletic than Cousins, but far from elite.. so I agree with what you said.

Finally being able to use my brain as outside and room temperature dipped below 30 degree(86°F) I'd rather say he's a more athletic Kevin Love on offense and Tyson Chandler on defense.

Not bad... just much bigger than Love.

Will probably watch, basketball in August is a rare commodity. Want to check out this "Kanter killer" guy Okafor as well.
 
This is for PKM


I love/hate you. I am sitting here watching the Adidas Nations championship game. Okafor had some nice moments but the person that keeps popping up is Stanley Johnson.

I hate that you have such incredible knowledge of up and coming players (cause I wish I had that), but I also love that I now know who to watch for.

So thank / no thank you.
