Anyone can dunk the basketball

Really can you dunk?  I my experience I would wager only 5% of people can dunk.  At 2:15 in the tribute his head is near the rim which denotes some athletic ability.  Tell me the move at 3:04 isn't athletic.  I see a guy who is athletic and can move but uses an economy of ability to use only as much as he needs to use.

Calipari called him Charles Barkley.  That is a pretty good judge of talent.   He would have went to KY if not for his fear of flying.

Here is his combine vid

He shot 33% from three point land and 53% from the field.  How is that not decent shooting?

Those are hard stats.   C'mon admit you don't do more than watch a few clips and read draft reports.  You guys who say he can't shoot are busted.

Another thing I like is he seems like a pretty intelligent guy . Yes he has made some mistake, but you can tell from this video he is a smart guy.

He has all the talent, an NBA ready Carlos Boozer type body with a PG handle, very good rebounder and can get to the rim pretty much at will and find teammates with his great court vision.

If he gets a consistant 15-18 ft jumper the kid has all the tools to be a really good player in this league .

And stop saying he isn't athletic or big enough , he is a tank with quick feet, powerful and very good footwork
