How about you give us your definition?I watched Wisconsin dominate Houston the other week (and Ga Tech last week, and Marquette over the wknd).
Surely that makes Wisconsin uber-athletic.

Of course he's athletic, and the rest of their team must be too!You don’t think Jonathan Davis is athletic?
Yeah...you are coming off super poorly here. You don’t really have a point.Of course he's athletic, and the rest of their team must be too!
I don't have one, but I do know good high-level basketball players when I see them, and it turns out we have several of those on this team.How about you give us your definition?
How did Wisonsin dominate those 3 teams?Yeah...you are coming off super poorly here. You don’t really have a point.
you tell me. explain Jonathan Davis‘ game to me.How did Wisonsin dominate those 3 teams?
Johnny Davis seems to have a well-rounded game but that's not close to the point - the Wisconsin team dominated those 3 high-level teams they played, and I'm at a loss (sincerely!) as to how, seeing as they're apparently unathletic as a team - or, are they?you tell me. explain Jonathan Davis‘ game to me.

What word should a person use to describe someone who can’t jump as high or run as fast as another person?I don't have one, but I do know good high-level basketball players when I see them, and it turns out we have several of those on this team.

OK, so does a team have to have several of those players to be good in high-major college basketball?Unathletic is playing basketball below the rim and not being able to break down the man covering you
I will make the claim that Larry Bird had great athletic ability. He had incredible balance, hand-eye coordination, reflexes, elite-level body coordination and elite neuro-muscular efficiency. Sure, his jumping ability was mediocre, but he could still throw it down with 2 hands. He checks enough of the boxes, imo.If you say so, but I honestly can’t understand how it is difficult to tell the difference between a athletic guy vs a guy who may be good at basketball but not have great athletic abilities.
Nobody is going to claim Larry Bird had great athletic ability, but he is obviously one of the best to ever play the game.
If they have all those qualities and can shoot the rock I’m sure they would look at them.wow dictionary!
Coaches/ADs should just start posting ads around town - "Are you strong, fit, and active? Are you agile? Come play on our basketball team!"

You won't convince me that an all-time great in any pro sport isn't a great athlete.
This thread is a train wreck. I'm out, keep enjoying your passive-aggressive nonsense though. You're really crushing it.wow dictionary!

Nice!Poll: Guard or Forward?
Curious as to what yous think... (I think the guard spot requires a better athlete than forward)syracusefan.com
fwiw, the op answered his own question months ago.
Absolutely. You have to have 3. Its insane that we only have 1. We always without question have at least a SG and SF that is very athletic. And Jesse at this point is very skilled and athletic but isnt strong enough to hold onto a rebound. Very disheartening how easy the Nova supposed big guys took the ball away from him.OK, so does a team have to have several of those players to be good in high-major college basketball?
