His feel/timing is elite - ELITE! He doesn't have the touch around the rim that Z-Bo has. Hopefully that'll come in time. He has the same wide build though. IMO his closest comp is Kevin Love. What say you?
Best thing I can say about him is he has a tremendous feel for the game and makes the right play 99% of the time. Really happy with this draft
If I have to make a judgement based off college & summer league I'd go with someone a little older than Love. Elton Brand.
I'll wait for him to play some regular games before I tell you which superstar I think he'll be like.
Whoever his comp is I know one thing; he's going to play as a rookie. His game is too smart. What's interesting is he'll look even better playing with better players. Can you imagine the damage he will cause with Nurkic next to him? Love the high low potential with those two as well.
His passing has been a surprise. He is not just hitting the open man. He is at times leading a teammate to create an opening.
He averaged 3 last season. That's not a few for a big man. That's about what Nurkic averaged in Portland.
Swanigan gave 100% and carried his team, and the opposing team, on his back every night for a week. Running out of gas is not choking.
You shut your whore mouth!!!! He had 25 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. It wasn't like he pulled a James Harden out there. BNM
