Smart move, hopefully adds some quickness. What does that tell you about the Big when big guys trim down to play in the League?
Theres not that many guys as big as Koffi anymore and most are pretty old.
Yeah, he's deep bench best case scenario.
thats the issue, koffi had the beef, but in the nba, they have height, a lot quicker twitch and much better hops. He may find a niche, the biggest thing he has going for him is finding his 3 point shot.
I think they have something in common in that neither has great athleticism or speed but they both work incredibly hard at getting better. Georges defense has gotten much better, has good handles and passing and mostly set up outside and shoots 3's. I think Garza may stick but will have to find the right fit pretty quick, if he doesn't not sure how many chances he will get, but can't deny his work ethic.
Yes, I wasn't saying they don't shoot 3s , I just said they're two of only a few guys that will post up more than once or twice a game.
One has no relevance to the other.
Different games, but likely needs a similar path if Luka is to make it in the league. Luka's 3-pt %, especially his senior year, was better than Georges' at any point while in college. Georges' shot it well enough people had to play it, then he could take them off the dribble. Luka was almost never going to try to take people off the dribble, but I actually saw him try to do that a few times in the latter half of this past season. Georges was able to get his NBA 3% to 40% or better each of the past few years, and with better D he has earned more rotation time. If Luka can do that, he has a chance. Georges is no lock down defender, but he isn't the liability on D he was earlier in his career. While Luka has good offensive footwork, his lateral movement on D, especially on the wing guarding a big who can shoot, or on a pick and roll, will be what ultimately determines if he can make a roster or not. Hard to question his work ethic though.
True in the post, but not regularly when he popped up to the three or line or the elbow.
Double teams came in the post more than the perimeter. Question is if some one closes out not under control at the three line could he make them pay off the dribble? He generally shouldn’t have trouble getting his shot off over someone, but they will play him tighter if his dribble isn’t respected.
