Ya, I see what you mean. Duncan was a man at wake forest and I Ioved watching every game cause he was a true low post player. Thats why I compare him to kevin mchale ,who was the master down low eventhough. I hated boston. KK can do it all pretty good but, he's doesnt have Duncans skills down low. Very few do if they do.

David robinson, Camby, Duncan,shag/robertson and oden at the end of the season are the ones that stood out as a true center in college to me.

That LSU team goes down in my book as the biggest joke with talent on the team of all time to not win it. Shaq,Stanley and chris jackson:!

with all respect to storm and the other boys at glen oak, they dont exactly have any players. coaching i could question also. the fact that he has to waste energy bringing the ball up the floor is telling...

BINGO. Then add KK with the 3's and having the vision ability to get all involved is kinda freakish for a 7'2 man going to :osu: :)

Thought I was gay when I had a dream of KK and ODEN playing together at :osu: :! Just what could have been.:(

at the end of the day, koufos is still a 7'2" player with decent mobility, good ball handling skills, and an excellent outside shot. he must have a poor freshman season not to be considered a first round prospect. koufos has a very high ceiling.

I was also at that game against StX...The problem was that when you don't have the supporting cast and X had big bodies to throw at KK it was hard for him to even touch the ball...They had guys in front, and guys in back of the zone...

It is sometimes hard for a post man to excel at the high school level when he doesnt have a supporting cast, that is what makes what Mullens do so great...He has the athletic ability to be able to snatch just about every rebound around the rim and then put it back home...Also one reason that allowed Greg to be so great at the high school level was the fact that he was playing with Conley on his team and he could get him the ball...They didnt have to depend on Greg to come back in the back court to lob it up to him to get the ball in bounds, and they didnt struggle to get the ball over half court...

KK showed his skill in the all-star games, and with talented guys around him and him being one of the focal points, we will see him show it off even more...

Never ever base someone off of one game at the high school level...

kk IS THE MOST COMPLETE PLAYER since/before LEBRON that ohio has had in along time.
Click to expand...


I would also disagree with this statement. I do not think he is the best "complete" talent in Ohio since Lebron. You have to remember Lebron left a few years ago and there have been quite a few players who have played high school ball and gone to D1 schools since then. Too many to start talking about.




Everyone talking about Cook on those NBA draft lists but, KK would be a top 10 pick if he were able to come out this year.

I can't believe you said that but I guess you did. KK lacks the strength and stamina amongst other things to be a top 10 pick in the NBA this year.

its highly complex and probably with 10 guys and a blackboard 3 of you would know what i was talking about after 10 minutes. understandable?

Only 3 out of 10? I think you underrate some of the other posters, including myself, basketball knowledge. In addition, different coaches teach different ways of defending the post and wing.

I would agree with this...

Jared could easily end up about 6'10 and he is your natural PF that plays on the block...Just like for every frosh it will be fun to watch him grow and get bigger, but I would imagine that he will be the #1 ranked player in the state all the way thru high school in his class, and will eventually don the Scarlet and Gray...

Okay, you keep on going back and forth, who do you want Kellogg or Sullinger and you can't have both
