Kofi Cockburn/UK Update

[CardiacAndre7]

Agree and disagree a little. He definitely got his body right once he got into the league, I think though his lack of athleticism, defense, and inability to develop a modern game as a youngster really hurt him. He was able to rely on being the bigger man growing up & never developed any range to his game. While he was more polished than Kofi on the block, Kofi is the more physical guy.

From those who have seen him more than I have though, how does he compare to ‘Buke at Kansas? That’s been my gut first comparison to him, but idk if that’s accurate really or not.

That’s fair and I do agree his lack of range is hurtinf him, but in the podcast he said he’s really been working on it and changed his shot up so maybe he’ll develop that this season on into later in his career.

On the ‘Buke comp, that is pretty good, although I think while Kofi is not crazy athletic he is still more mobile and bouncy than Buke, who is very earthbound. But, if we get him I would take Buke’s production for sure, his FG % is other worldly and can protect the rim and rebound a little. But Buke fouls a ton, so hopefully Kofi can avoid that.
