Burns is kind of a hard matchup because you aren't going to move a guy who is the same weight as you with a lower center of gravity.Watched both games last night. Thought Clingan looked the best out of any of the prospects. He’s a really safe pick. Going to be a good defender, probably not going to expand his offensive game much or be an elite rim runner. Kinda clumsy around the hoop. Not an elite athlete.
Castle had a really good game, but it’s so obvious he can’t shoot right now. Made plays and UConn had some nice adjustments when Bama abandoned him….but his shot is really a limiting factor right. Still think he’s very likely to be a useful player on the NBA. Super smart and does a lot of things to help the team win. Bruce Brown style.
Sears can really hoop, he’s sooo small though.
Edey had good numbers, did not think it was the best look for him. Looked slow and methodical out there. This game really highlighted how different the college game is. Don’t think his post up game will translate. I think he has his merits, great hands + touch around the basket. But his dominance on the college game is just so antithetical to how the NBA game is played.
The Clingan matchup will be fascinating because Clingan is is the kind of center Edey will have to play against at the NBA level
