Reddit is going nuts over a dunk by that kid from Kansas in which he just sort of lowers his shoulder into a guy and then dunks, the Shaq Special. I've seen very little of the guy but he doesn't look like he has much basketball ability. He is a really good athlete but other than that I haven't seen him do a single thing. Is that accurate at all?

Barbosa had similar measurements when he came out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX89ijwRFV8 He walks on just about every basket he scores in the first half of that video and he's pretty awkward but he gets the job done. No jumpers, though. Hook shots from outside the paint!

It was my own understanding that a big part of what made Cousins go from potentially great to great is not shooting so many of those midrange shots and just going down low and doing what he does best more frequently. Why would you draft a less skillful guy who'd take up more space down low and force Cousins out to the midrange area again? I know he's improved from there and some low usage guy won't be the one necessarily forcing a guy like Cousins out but look at Omer Asik. He's low usage and not particularly offensively skilled so the only area he's respected is near the basket, forcing others away from him. Also, what is the benefit of having a 280lbs guy like Cousins gambling on the perimeter defensively?

Ugh you're right. I need to look at BBR before making posts that go off of my dumb eye tests Anyway, does Okafor project into something like a taller Elton Brand?
