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.

Not much point in being 7’4 if you’re doing stuff 6’4 guys can do and not the things 7’4 guys can do.

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.

Didn’t know Steph had THIS much athleticism. Congrats to him! Will be fun to watch one of ours on the big stage.

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.

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