The game has changed 4's don't play underneath. He's a 3/4. Could play alongside Larrier giving u two versatile forwards.
Husky429, Posters want to look at mix tapes and hear about a recruit's play to gain some expectations about that player. All the dunks in Sid's mixtape and the fact that he is 6'7 gave one poster, (Coach J), the view he was a thicker Deandre Daniels type player. In fact he is even skinnier I think. A second poster, (noeynox), responded to the Daniels comparison saying he had viewed Sid more as a Daniel Hamilton type with more athleticism and a less polished outside game. I agreed with the second poster that Sid is more like Daniel Hamilton, but I elaborated numerous differences, so I clearly did not imply that they are the same player. I swore to myself I wasn't going to get drawn into a dialogue about this, but he is absolutely not a 4, and plays nothing like Roscoe Smith. You could attend multiple games where he scored 15-20 pts and not see any dunks in traffic like are in the mixtape. What you will see is a poor man's Hamidou Diallo in that he makes things happen offensively and defensively with quickness, and athleticism, yet has a bit better mid range shooting. As a 'slasher', he gets to the line often like Diallo, and misses a lot of foul shots but probably less misses than Diallo. Whenever I saw Wilson he was playing from the backcourt, and wings, not underneath as a 4. He's like 175lbs. AND, I'm not saying he is Diallo. I'm just trying to give people an image as to how I have seen him play and people can take it for what it is worth. If you have seen him enough to disagree that is fine, I'll concede to your opinion.
My response is basically the same as @Burnsbros23. Were both hs coaches, so it may impact our opinions on kids for better or worse.
I realize he will never be a banger down low. And yes ive seen him play. I think hes likely going to be a perimeter stretch 3/4 for us. He doesnt have the ball skills to play 2 at all. I hope he learns those skills in his year off!
Edit: ive seen him play 3 or 4 times, i believe.
