Nobody is mad, it's just absurd for you to say you know people in this kids age bracket with better post moves -




I wasn't talkin to u when I asked if dude was mad.. N nah not 6'11 but I know done hoppers.. In case y'all don't know there are young nikkas that can easily play d1 easily, but would rather smoke n sell dope. It is what it is


That video has better examples of his post moves, if you knew somebody 6'7" or taller that had a post game like that they'd be nationally ranked in the top 10.

All 3 of these guys are in the league...not every college player becomes an allstar! Geez you guys get your heads out your asses...I can name highly touted centers for all the top programs that didn't do shyt in the league. At least all 3 of these guys are still employed. McRoberts was never a great post player even in highschool...good handles and good athlete at the center position...Shavlik was overhyped and didn't possess the athletic ability to play in the post...Plumlees are rookies and 1st year player and Miles wasn't highly rated (if you count top 80 as highly rated) and was originally going to Stanford, we just happen to land him when Johnny Dawkins became coach...again just stating facts, he wasn't highly rated.

I'm not even talking about them as pros, I'm talking strictly about their time at Duke. It's just not an offense that highlights post play. Their big man coach is 5 foot tall for gods sake.

What? Power Forward and Center are the two positions white dudes actually play well at.

After his freshman season Mason was considered a top 10 pick, the more Coach K "developed" him the worse his stock dropped. He doesn't have a history of developing big men, you say they aren't highly touted yet the vast majority of them were All-Americans. His best big man is Brand, who stayed just 2 years before Coach K could turn him into the garbage man, defender/hustle rebounder that he seems to turn everyone else into.

I get that you have to defend Duke's honor, but they straight up do not have a good history with the development of big men.

his freshmen season, he couldn't do half the stuff he did as a Senior. He would have been a bust, he was pure athletics at that point. I disagree he would have been drafted that high, once he went through combines...NBA has slowly been moving away from drafting projects like they use to...but even if they did draft him as a Freshmen, he would have been 2 years away from actually contributing. He was always a poor defender and okay rebounder...by his senior year, he was actually rebounding better and a better defender and actually had a post move (hook).

Curry was actually legit, he just a lazy ass-hole. Kwame...I have no idea what his problem was...

Lets be honest no school has done a good job with post players the past decade or so there are no good big men anymore nobodies ruining them its the fact nobody sems to want to play the post anymore hes a rare one

None of those Duke bigs was gonna be some all time great that coach k stifled

This nikka need to be goin to G'Town.

 

[GoldenGlove]

The crazy shyt is that those HS teams get beat by other teams in the city without any top 100 national players on it. The competition is rough throughout the entire state too, not just Chicago.

Curry could have been a really good player if he just kept his weight in check and actually tried to rebound, dude could score like nobodies business.

And Kwame was destroyed by MJ, any development he could have had went right out the window cause of Mike.

I'll keep it brief....since I'm a Duke fan.

All 3 Plumlees were, have been and will be garbage. Doesn't matter what school they would have went to.

nothing bout that mixtape was impressive

dude has no hops and his body looks soft

I highly doubt he's the next Duncan. Whose the only great player I've ever seen with wack highlights, no ups, and a soft body.
