    He's an undersized C with no skill. He's a poor man's Thomas Robinson.

    Undersized? He's the same height as Ed Davis with an identical reach, bigger wingspan, and weighs somewhere between 240-260.

    Adebeyo and Rabb have a ceiling of last years Ed Davis, and it's not likely they reach it. Don't like undersized centers with below-average C skills.

    Adebayo is more explosive than Davis and offers more versatility defensively. You can comfortably put him on an island on the perimeter. I also think he has some untapped upside offensively, but that part is just a theory.

    Yeah it's just a workout, but it's not hard to see how fluid of an athlete he is. Davis ain't moving like that ever.

    Needs to improve his dribbling, looks like the ball gets away from him slightly, if you don't have great ball control you are going to get picked.

    Adebayo had what I consider a terrible interview here. Did not seem very invested or confident.

    Ferguson's shot is pretty quick.

    As I recall......"his release point is too low.....he will get his shot blocked" and....... "he can't dunk on NBA talent"............

    TJ Leaf's stoke is pretty solid from outside.

    Ed Davis is much better finisher and rebounder than Adebeyo. How will Adebeyo's "explosiveness" serve him well? He's not gonna be dunking/shooting consistently over NBA Cs.

    You're also acting like its certain Adebeyo will be a good defender, which I'm not sure about. Cs could be scoring over him at will. Who knows of his defensive IQ is good enough to be a good NBA defender, or if he will solely rely on strength and "explosiveness" (which will get him in trouble because he won't have as much of an advantage in those areas.).

    Ed Davis is his ceiling. I don't think Adebeyo has more raw potential based off athleticism but he'll probably never close to being as smart of a player as Davis.

    "Not gonna be dunking over NBA centers"

    "Centers will be scoring over him at will."

    Just how small do you think Bam is? Not only does he have an NBA ready body as a 19 year old, he also has the frame to put on more size, something Davis never had. He's not going to get pushed around just because he gives up a couple inches in height. His length and explosiveness (an example of how it serves him) makes up for it.

    I never said "pushed around" now did I?

    I also said centers COULD be scoring over him at will.

    Don't quote me if you're not gonna get it right.

    So getting scored on at will doesn't equal to being pushed around? Whatever you say.
