Ask any scout if defense and rebounding translate to all levels. Almost all with agree.
If add athleticism with rebounding and defensive ability it certainly translates. Guys who are slow, unathletic and don’t have a high motor will struggle at the high major. Case in point... Chris Vogt Now look at elie... his defensive rebounding % was actually higher at UC than Georgia state. But they are close enough to call them the same. He also offensive rebounded pretty well at UC and then once he stepped down a level, he’s now the 17th best offensive rebounder in the country, Chris Vogt is an aweful rebounder.

Not even sure how thats even up for debate Debate. Chris Vogt is the worst Big man defender that UC has had in the Huggins/Brannen/Cronin era. You know it too |

I don't mind them being a little one sided when it comes to skillset. I think college basketball is won at the guard level. And while you can have a few non defenders in your guard rotation, you need most of them to be 2 way contributors. And if you do have really awful guard defenders then you better have a great rim protecting big. There is all kinds of defense and rebounding first bigs in the NBA that contribute to winning teams because they have elite guard play. Elie IS a good/ better than most rebounder. He's 17th in the Nation in offensive rebounding rate right now. Good roster construction doesn't just mean guys who are skilled offensively at every spot. You need balance. You need a few lockdown defenders like Kevin Johnson.. Not just all scorers. |
