Cant play much worse than Black or Dorsey, and at least you get to develop a youngter a little bit. Geez... the Rockets might have the worst big man rotation in the league outside of Dwight.
he looks like he's playing against children <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GR3cGuPs5a4?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Even in the D-league he still seems to be missing huge fundamentals. He dunks with his right in one play with all the defensive traffic on that side as well. In an NBA game they would have blocked him or stolen the ball. He has no sense of spacing and it shows by the numerous 3 second violations in the paint. He might not ever be NBA ready.
Jesus. The roll @ 1:38 is awesome and the finish is crazy. I was saying the other day that this guy was 2-3 years away but he is probably better than Dorsey or Black right now.
How are you going to say he is never going to make it? This kid is like 20. Another quality Liberon post tbh...
Holt S**t, he's averaging 4 BPG, in 12.5 MPG That's 11.5 Blocks per 36 He's also averaging 13.8 Rebounds per 36.Even in the D-League that is worthy of attention. If this kid can learn some fundamentals he could be a beast defensively. Also 5-7 from the FT line. Which is obviously insignificant sample, but I wasn't sure he was even capable of making a FT when we saw him.
Actually, those are things coaches can TEACH. Unlike explosiveness, athleticism, or quickness. So I think you have it a bit backwards. He's a young European kid. Growing pains are to be expected.
