He was the best pick-and-roll big in college basketball, he played the five in an NBA-style offense and he had four sharp-shooters around him at all times.
He has committed to Dayton Flyers. From the start. Be happy for kid, Garza can stay and perhaps win next year.All spot on... your just bitter. He's a selfless team player who loves crashing the boards and affecting the game on defense, and he can defend multiple positions because of his size and quickness. It's hard to include Devin Vassell in this category -- he was a three-star, top-200 recruit in the 2018 recruiting class -- but I'd be remiss to gloss over him. He's not overly athletic, but he overcomes it with skill. MJ was 22 his rookie year. Reed, however, has grown from fringe top-300 in his recruiting class into a potential top-30 (!) His age plus the fact that he only measured around 6'5" and and a half at the combine caused him to drop all the way to the mid second round ...despite the fact that he was really the best player not named Anthony Davis in that draft.I’ll play devil’s advocate (because I have little else to do). I enjoy using rivals to see what other boards are saying etc. The definitive source for all Rivals news.
Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted recently I was swamped with school. Class (Rank): 2017 Obi Toppin is a true zero-to-hero story. Loses to really bad teams like DePaul and Nebraska and a neutral tells me perhaps the BIG TEN overrated. Join the team! NBA-Specific Skills. They were the only program to offer Desmond Bane a scholarship. Be happy for kid, Garza can stay and perhaps win next year.Look the NBA draft will answer the question of who experts thought was the best player. Luke was the go too,Obi was very efficient, far less shots. When the Flyers did go up against teams with bigger, more physical post players, Toppin struggled. BASKETBALL Who is Obi Toppin? Toppin is simply the better player. He too often was beaten on straight line drives by players that shouldn’t be blowing by him, and he had moments where he looked lost guarding pick-and-rolls. Luke will win the Wooden or some other award. NBADraft.net currently has him projected at No. So there's some concern that he may be a one-dimensional forward who can't contribute much offensively. Fifteen different programs offered Tyrese Haliburton a scholarship as a Class of 2018 recruit, but that still doesn't mesh with just how good he really is. Discussion in 'Husker Board' started by John_J_Rambo, Mar 24, 2020. Today we went against one of Golden State's rivals in the Houston Rockets, hope you guys enjoy! In the Owensboro paper today there was a big article about Ray Harper and in the article it mentioned Harper recruiting Toppin to WKU and he thought he would have … But Obi is much more than a dunker or highlight reel. I enjoy using rivals to see what other boards are saying etc. That’s not what he does. The flip of the coin will be who is drafted higher. Expand Collapse Joined: … And yet, Riller might be a first-round pick in this year's draft. Be happy for kid, Garza can stay and perhaps win next year.So you guys think the National writers would vote for a guy from Dayton vs a Big Ten player who has much more TV exposure. He's a surefire first-rounder, and some scouts view him as a top-five player in this class because of how efficient he was in college, how dynamic he's been in different roles, and the level of his skill and feel. Now standing at 6-6 with a wingspan close to 7-feet, a 3-point shot that's fallen at a 41.7% rate in two seasons on 168 attempts, and a defensive mentality that's NBA ready right now, he looks like one of the most safe 3-and-D wings in this draft. rhc4y4 Hall of Famer. Obadiah Toppin is a 6-9, 200-pound Power Forward from Baltimore, MD. Both deserving. Last edited: Apr 4, 2020. The foreign guys will be in contention for those spots.I think we see LaMelo and Edwards at 1-2 in some order. He can protect the rim given his athleticism, but he topped out at just 1.5 blocks-per-40 minutes this past season. So it could be argued that finding the right 21-22 year olds will go a long way toward developing a championship level team.Draymond Green's a classic example of how scouts can outsmart themselves by relying too much on metrics over actual play. Granted, I don’t follow the NBA, so I am asking because I have no idea why that is.I think we see LaMelo and Edwards at 1-2 in some order.
