Steph is a really strong leaper off of two feet. He’s shown a ton of explosion on multiple dunks this year. Hopefully good for his exposure long term.

We also can’t just ignore what his size does on defense, though, regardless of his offensive style. Also, he can get clean looks easier than smaller players, even if it’s not as stylistically different as some would wan or expect.

This is very exciting news. When was the last time we had a UConn player in either the dunk or three-point contest? Steph is also our best shot at getting a UConn player in the actual All Star Game.
Ray Allen. He was the first and only NBA player to ever be in both in a career.
I'm sure Andre Drummond was in a dunk contest.

Pretty funny quote from Tyler Herro about Steph. League is starting to really notice his defense.

San Antonio 6th grader gets surprise visit from Stephon Castle, trip to Paris
And apparently, Wemby hosted the traditional team dinner event in Paris, in the absence of Pops this year... Castle having one hell of an introduction to the NBA! What an ambassador for the Huskies he's become!

I defer to you on these matters, ace. How many dunks does a player need in his dunk package before you can say he has "athleticism"?

I didn't say Steph wasn't athletic or didn't have athleticism, that was a leap that posters made in classic Boneyard fashion. There is athleticism/creativity and then there is "dunk contest" athleticism/creativity, I think Steph is in the former and not the latter based off of what I've seen from his in-game dunks. We shall see next month.

Clingan gets the start tonight. In his first run he starts off with 4 rebounds and 3 blocks.
It’s always impressive to see him just completely shutdown the paint when he’s in there.

One thing you realize about the last two teams is that they had a collection of unique “special” players, players that other teams had no idea how to plan for, simulate in practice. AJX was a special athlete, there are not many of him out there. Hawk was that as a constant motion shooter. Adama was that as a college interior post big. Last years players go without saying. This year’s team really doesn’t have anything that jumps out at you other maybe Solos 3 pt shooting cusping.
