USC beat Arizona and were competitive in a lot of games. I don’t think that really means much.
Just from watching him he has no chance at guarding any NBA guard who has any kind of quickness. For as athletic as he is getting downhill, he's a terrible lateral athlete. He's going to be a wing defender and he's incredibly soft defensively.That one play does yes.
Just giving you some context to the level of competition Topic was putting up numbers against. Mega Mis was one of the better teams in the league as well. It's just kind of a weak domestic league.USC beat Arizona and were competitive in a lot of games. I don’t think that really means much.
Yeah, it’s basically the JV league right?Just from watching him he has no chance at guarding any NBA guard who has any kind of quickness. For as athletic as he is getting downhill, he's a terrible lateral athlete. He's going to be a wing defender and he's incredibly soft defensively.

That would be a very wild pass if he was throwing it that far behind the screener.It turned out well, but it sure looks like he was passing to the screener behind him. It deflects off the screener to the 3 point line guy. Topic has skills, but that is a poor example.
You were expecting bigger or smaller? He’s 6’6 w/o shoes.First time I've seen him on a basketball court in this clip. Not near the size I expected to see
That's just what he tells the ladies.You were expecting bigger or smaller? He’s 6’6 w/o shoes.
Thats a low end outcome... and yes... I used that one too. But did Brown fail cuz he couldn't shoot? If Castle shoots 35% from 3 and 78% from the line I think he will not be a bust.
Honestly I have no idea on the wingspan. I tend to not believe the 7' claims. I would guess he's 6'4.75 without shoes.First time I've seen him on a basketball court in this clip. Not near the size I expected to see
I have Collier and Topic tiered up together.

Good example of how painfully slow Topic is on defense guarding the perimeter. Is giving Collier a ton of space and still can't get to the spot. Somehow this wasnt called a foul, but anyone with working eyes knows this is a foul. (starts around 1:21:26, youtube isnt great with time stamps for w/e reason)
Maybe some kind of mix up.Damn, you think they’re lying a ton on measurements?
I definitely expected him to look taller, and I guess I was hoping for thicker.You were expecting bigger or smaller? He’s 6’6 w/o shoes.
Closest I could find in a very quick search is Wendell Moore measured 6’5.5 w/o shoes and a 7’0.5 wingspan with a 8’5 standing reach.Maybe some kind of mix up.
He also measured w/ a 8'2.5 standing reach while being 6'6 (without shoes mind you) w/ a 7' wingspan. Those measurements do not add up. I know he does have a weirdly long neck, but it isnt that long
This should hold about zero value, since eye measurements are horrible, but he doesn't look as tall and as long as Exum to me.My guess would be Topic is 6'6 in shoes w/ a 6'9 wingspan. That would be Exum size.
I think that’s on the low side.My guess would be Topic is 6'6 in shoes w/ a 6'9 wingspan. That would be Exum size.
