That'd be in the low 80's right next to Tim Hardaway Jr and several points behind Trey Burke -- who I had rated lower than most all the sources you can find on the internets..

One more question - Who you taking to win a game today Len or Joakim Noah (Who just signed a 4yr/$72MM deal this summer)??
 
This comment will draw plenty of ire here but it's just food for thought -- Len vs Gobert per 36

13.3ppg, 13.4rebs and 2.7blks
13.8ppg, 11.6rebs and 2.5blks


Len is also a year younger.

The bottom is Len's and that is a stupid way to use that stat.

6'5"G Donte DiVincenzo RS Freshman at Villanova will eventually make DX's list in class. U can take it to the bank! Good athlete/defender/combo skills, strong and quick, looks to have a 3pt shot too.

Scored 19 the other day vs St. Johns

Looks like a safe bet to eventually get pro looks. 3-star recruit alert!!!


Turns 20 in a few weeks.

Cousins is like a 98+ grade in my book in pretty much all of these recent drafts, I'd have had him at 100 in 2013.. his particular skillset and build and rebounding prowess is just an extremely rare combination for a player that age... I had Cousins #1 on my board that year not John Wall.

So you were betting on Cousins randomly starting to give a **** defensively? Or is it just offensive impact? Because Cousins body and mobility/nimbleness never suggested that he may become an elite rim protector/help defender.

Well, you did have Alex Len as a 98 in 2013. I remember how he was a can't miss prospect. The good old days.

He didn't miss Hill's jaw!

Cousins was quite obviously the real deal in many aspects of his skillset, savant level offensive rebounder, great hands/dexterity/body control. One of the things that clearly seperates him from this years bigs(and Favors) is the ability to demand/score thru double or even triple teams(Which is one of the reasons Blake Griffin was the obvious #1 pick and grades well out of class too..It;s also one of the reasons the Jazz selected Enes Kanter) His touch around the rim was obviously well above average, same for his touch from midrange and putting him on the line is no help at all..

The 2 reb difference is big, and the even scoring average, considering Rudy's biggest weakness is scoring. and how is Len's FG% defense at the rim? Doesn't Rudy lead the league there?

Also, Len was a high lottery pick and while Rudy is a year older, he's arguably more raw and as such has more room for improvement despite the age difference.

Anyway, just a couple thoughts.

Like 47% which is damn respectable, better than a lot of starters and vets making big $$$. Rudy's the standard for excellence in that dept. he's not the proper measuring stick to use if you wanna be reasonable..
