Im going to go out on 2 limbs here. One, just watch couple video of Cobb and hits to say I'm impressed. He reminds me of a Chris Paul the way he plays. And two, this just makes you believe even more that Martin is a lock. Stewart is up in limbo and I'll call Haywood pretty much a no go, so Mick needs one other guard to fill out roster. If DeBerry or Strickland don't at least hurt us next year and we get both these guys we a have a top 10 team next year.

Cobb is lights out from three point range!!! Reminds me of a quicker Steve Logan.

my point was it doesn't have to be a dunk attempt to draw a foul. Body position is very important. The big difference in the game today is years ago you weren't racing down the lane trying to posterize someone because if you did you generally found yourself in the third row. The games used to be a lot more physical. It also was played with a lot more fundamentals. The game today is geared for the fans enjoyment. That means high flying dunks and long range jumpers. While I hate to find fault with Shaq he is the perfect example. Fans see all this promise in him because on occasion he throws down a monster dunk or a high flying dipsy do lay up. More often he goes long stretches without a rebound or being in the same zip code as the player he is defending. I prefer a player like SK who used body positioning and good fundamentals to draw contact and get to the line for a and one. Dunking is nice and it gets the crowd excited but I'll take a guy laying the ball over the front of the rim or kissing it off the glass for two as well. Those players seem to understand the game better by relying on technique to get it done rather then just being the better athlete. In the long run I think they will be the better all around player. Some of the best players of all time weren't the best athletes. Magic,Bird,Kareem,West,and the Big O were all fundamentally the best players on the floor. Of course you have guys who were both like Baylor,Jordan,Kobe.Lebron to name a few. The key is develop all your skills not just the ones that excite the fans.

Article from a couple months ago...we're easily the best school going after him and it sounds like UC fits what he says he's looking for.

That baseline floater is a thing of beauty.
There is also a video of him dunking on his YouTube channel, so he can dunk. Also, I'll just say this, Napier never dunked in traffic, if at all... So I'm not losing any sleep over whether a 6ft guard can dunk. |
