Like almost anything else, you can certainly improve it. That said, you can only improve it so much versus someone with more natural ability. Same with vertical leap. You can train, add strength, and improve somewhat...but if you aren't born with it, you're not reaching anything near Drexler/Jordon levels no matter how much you train.
I'm hoping he becomes something like a prime Paul Millsap on offense. Millsap was a little undersized and not the most explosive PF either.
If he buries the 3 often, he's going to be a special player. I expect a double double from him, on average, a couple years from now. He might surprise and have a lot of assists, too.
I’ve noticed some significant weight loss since the start of the season. I mentioned it when I watched him in the g league that he was dropping pounds but recently he physically looks like he did back in summer league. I still like the idea of him backing up Collins at the four once Zach inevitably starts. I know we love the Ed and Collins duo but imagine Ed and Biggie.
Why has he completely disappeared? It's not really expected from late first round picks to contribute much in their first season but he has barely played for the last several months.
Caleb transformed his game from one year to the next in college. I'm not going to be the one doubting him in the NBA. I think he will find a way to be a very productive player by next season. We know he has a knack for rebounding and has a nice shooting touch, so now that he's slimmed down and put on some muscle maybe he will be a little quicker and actually be able to get off the ground. He should back up Zach though. Nothing wrong with that.
He's just soooooooo slow. Not a ton of athleticism. That dude needs to become the next Sam Perkins. That's his best chance in the league.
