Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2040891, member: 488"] Strength will be the greatest limiting factor for Kentan, whether it's in summer league or the D-league or overseas. [USER=3376]@Matrim55[/USER] nailed it. He can't finish through contact and he gets pushed around on the block. His rebounding rate this season is less than Brimah's. He has assets - he's athletic, both laterally and vertically, he has a very nice stroke (I've never understood why he never experimented with the three point shot at UConn), and he has good feel/body control in the paint. If he was stronger, you could make the argument that he could maybe catch on as a niche guy in the NBA, if not as a 3 & D guy than as a small ball center, but then you go back and look at the tape against Kansas or Maryland last year and you see why it's probably not going to work. The guy who said it's impossibly hard to make the NBA is 100% right. The fact that we can have this discussion at this point is a nice tribute to how much better he's gotten, particularly defensively. It won't be because of a lack of development that he doesn't make it (though I still think his upside as a college player was higher). Same thing with Brimah - good, improved player, just too limited physically too ever really get a crack, IMO. [/QUOTE]
