Walker Kessler Thoughts?

He is actually a solid athlete. Not super explosive but moves his feet well and seems to have really good hands.

I don’t really buy the good athlete or “moves well” stuff. He can barely get off the ground, and he has no twitchy movements at all. Compared to someone like Zubac, for example, who isn’t even a good athlete to begin with is more athletic.

Everybody says he’s a good athlete….for his size. Well, I’m actually struggling to find someone in the entire league that he’s actually more athletic than.

Barely get off the ground. We are clearly watching different players.
 
Kessler looks fine for a rookie he is solid. Don't see starter though, not a on a contender. Nothing against the guy, but the love for him around here is pretty sad.
Eh, that's a bit extreme. I think what I am hearing mostly around here is that people are pleasantly surprised and enjoying the higher level play than expected, nothing more. I don't see anyone annointing him as the next Embiid, except in hyperbolic ways as we are excited to finally have a solid prospect as a center when we have had the Dok's and Bradley's of the league for so many of the past half dozen years.
 


Walker, Kessler Ranger

These highlights, although against inferior players to the NBA level, remind me a lot of Rudy's defense. He's a player for sure.
