Totally agree with this sentiment, and is an example of someone I would want my kids to emulate; however, I think the question is whether he has enough of a nasty streak in him, or if he'll get pushed around in the NBA. I preface, I know nothing about college basketball anymore, but physicality seemed to be the knock against him in college. Will be very interesting to see how he competes in summer league.
Potentially, but this is a guy who averaged over 10 rebounds last season and 9.4 the year before. 18.1% TRB as a college player. That would be 13th in the NBA last season. For reference, Domas as the best rebounder in basketball was at 22.2% TRB last year. And he's a guy that primarily plays around the perimeter on O
I dont think this is a soft kid at all. I'd be a lot more worried if he were a 5 REB guy
