I’m not expecting NBA potential, but Abraham tracks as a four-year system guy who works his butt off every play, does all the little winning things well and can possibly develop a decent offensive game as well a la Whaley. He’s an easy kid to like.love abraham, just full of passion.
What is your take (or the scouting takes) on his defensive capabilities. The reason I ask is we need a real lockdown defender ala Andre and Stephon. Those two were instrumental and had the size and length to shutdown an awful lot of offensive threats over the years. I keep hearing good things on this young man from attitude, hard work and athleticism. He is also 6-7 and long. I know he seems to be on the far end of the bench from most followers but could he be the lockdown defender against elite offensive threats who may be too big for our smaller guards? LOL it becomes hard to keep a good man down!I’m not expecting NBA potential, but Abraham tracks as a four-year system guy who works his butt off every play, does all the little winning things well and can possibly develop a decent offensive game as well a la Whaley.

From what I saw at the open practice, he’s already well on his way to developing a more than decent offensive gameI’m not expecting NBA potential, but Abraham tracks as a four-year system guy who works his butt off every play, does all the little winning things well and can possibly develop a decent offensive game as well a la Whaley.

I figured this was as good a place as any to post this
Assuming he is a 4 year player is fools gold. The kid has an NBA body and athleticism, and has beautiful form on his jumper. I’m not sure what precluded him from being a more highly rated prospect, but it wasn’t traits. I could easily see him developing into an NBA draft pick by his junior year.From what I saw at the open practice, he’s already well on his way to developing a more than decent offensive game
He seems like he can be in an Andre Jackson mold.Assuming he is a 4 year player is fools gold. The kid has an NBA body and athleticism, and has beautiful form on his jumper.

Andre had one of the ugliest jump shots I’ve ever seen. He had a fatal flaw in his game. Isiah does not have that, at all. It’s yet to be determined what his all around game is in action, but he can shoot it. Really pretty form, high quick release.He seems like he can be in an Andre Jackson mold.
High level athlete with elite intangibles and motor. Just needs to develop skills that can make him an NBA player.
As I say all the time I hope he can do more than just shoot it. It was part of Andre’s problem as well offensively.Andre had one of the ugliest jump shots I’ve ever seen.

Karaban is 6'6.5, Drummond is 6'9.75'I thought someone said Karaban had grown? If Andre Drummond is still 6'11", Karaban is about 6'5"
Can’t be a lock down defender from bench. He could get spot minutes in that role. This roster is different. Best defense will continue me from diarra and nowell. Depth will provide opportunity for massive pressing because depth is 10-12 deep. Completely different blueprint this year.What is your take (or the scouting takes) on his defensive capabilities.

I'm assuming they both have shoes on. With shoes on Drummond has been measured at 6-11.75 and Karaban I'd bet is 6-8 with shoes.Karaban is 6'6.5, Drummond is 6'9.75
Sneakers are all different, I gave their actual heights. Karaban is wearing slides in the picture.I'm assuming they both have shoes on. With shoes on Drummond has been measured at 6-11.75 and Karaban I'd bet is 6-8 with shoes.
