Following potential 2015 draftees

They are basically the same size. Both are slender power forwards who do most of their damage on put backs and drop offs. Looney hit a few threes and that is not Ed's game but that is the main difference I see between them. The sample size is really small and he shoots 63% from the line so I'm not sure he's really a shooter... we'll see. People had thought Ed would gain weight too... it doesn't happen for everyone.

The fractured face affected him in the tournament... I watched him at the beginning, middle and end of the season and never walked away impressed.

As far as strong IQ and 3 and D... those are guesses. He won't be able to guard most 3s in the NBA. He's going to have to play PF. If he can guard NBA PFs he'll be a decent player... Kind of like how Ed Davis is a decent player. The Ed Davis comp is not perfect, but it's a lot closer than the Lamar Odom, Luol Deng comps... he doesn't move that well.

I think you are way off. He can defend any NBA 3 IMO.
 
I think u are both wrong. He is nothing like Davis while Cy is overrating him. I would rather have Davis than Looney, fwiw.

He's a tweener... He will get roasted by NBA 3s. He moves well for a PF, but its not amazingly well. If he is successful in the NBA it will be at the 4.

What evidence do you have? DX seems to think he can guard 3's just fine.

The same evidence that you watched him and think he has good IQ and will be a 3 and D guy. It's guesses. I watched him several times... He gets rebounds and puts them back, moves well laterally, but one thing that struck me was he was the last guy down on a lot of offensive possessions... maybe he had off nights. I never saw any of these perimeter skills people seem to think he has.

DX also has him in the 20s bro, so yeah they love him.

He is the MVP of this AWFUL McD game, imo.

Will be interesting to see how much it hurts ISU/helps the Johnnies that they hired Matt Abdelmassih.

A couple of those bigs in the Micky D's game could barely run the court and looked like crap when they got the ball in the post. I couldn't figure out what they even were doing there. Is that class supposed to pretty weak?
