Call them a 4, call them a 5.

Cook is Ed Horton, an inside banger with a range of 10-12 feet.....

There can be only one.

Off the top of my head, yes. Who is a white NBA player that's athletic by NBA terms? Most are well below average by NBA terms.

Nowitzki, Hinrich, Love, McDermott, Korver, Collison, Dellavadova, Reddick, Gasol brothers, Mike Miller... all far from being 'athletic'. So who am I missing when I only listed Budinger? Contestant in the dunk contest, supremely athletic.

I don't know... How about Blake Griffin? Didn't Miles Plumlee participate in the dunk contest a year or two back? Chandler Parsons is athletic. Pretty sure the Knicks' rookie is pretty athletic (the Porzingis guy). Not a big NBA fan, but came up with those off the top of my head.

It's amazing to me how worked up our fan base gets about recruits. I think it says a lot about Iowa and it's fans. We never get tired of talking about and hoping for better things for Iowa athletics. Pemsl may the best of the bunch, time will tell. Totally agree, only 1 Ed Horton.

Wait, you think Blake Giffin is white?

I was wrong about Griffin. Point still stands.

It appears to me that RK compares favorably to JU. Similar size (if not a bit bigger), similar natural abilities (quickness, strength, coordination, jumping/leaping, etc), similar skills (shooting, passing, dribbling, screening, boxing out, etc), and [predictably] similar style.
