His legs are like tree trunks, carries a lot of muscle in his lower half. That stoutness is probably what makes him appear less tall. He’s listed at 6’10 with a 7’4 WS. For reference Samson has a 7’5 WS, Adama was 7’2.5.
Funny, I have the same feeling watching him. His build, and the way he moves, is like a smaller player.
Exactly! You look at that picture and not know the height you could say he was a guard, proportion wise.
Okafor was listed at 255, I believe, but both him and Reed Jr. has compact muscle. I remember Okafor a lot during games, and in his sophomore and junior years he almost never got pushed or muscled off a spot on the floor.
I think Samson was significant contributor to last year's UConn team coming off the bench and especially when holding down the 5 spot with Clingan out for month. But he ain't no Oso Iguadharo. Oso really could not or did not shoot beyond 12 feet, which is the range he could use that one hand push shot which he was remarkably effective with. Oso is a very high IQ player and an exceptional passer with good ballhandling ability for a person that plays the 4 or 5.
Hes a little more athletic and bigger than Adama but is still a bit rough around the edges offensively but that will likely change the longer hes with this coaching staff. Ive been very enthusiastic about him and think hes going to be great here. Hes already showing signs of what hes capable of with some good coaching. As competition gets better he will need to step up and i think he will.
So.... best big man since... last year ?
NBA Okafor maybe. Reed is like Adrien light and Freeman deluxe build.
So glad to see you’re in form, my man. where do you see him getting drafted with another year of development?
