Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5755757, member: 40"] Agree. But take video like this with a grain of salt. I remember back when we recruited Bourama Sidibe when he was in high school. This was pre-injuries, which really derailed him. In his film, Sidibe would get rebounds, handle the ball in the open floor [just like Siby's footage], and dish it off with nifty passes to teammates in transition or dunk on people. Defenders would try to steal the ball, and he'd go around his back, etc. and keep pushing it upfloor. My first impression was -- geez, this guy handles the ball like Derrick Coleman. We obviously saw NONE of that capability when he arrived at Syracuse. Siby's footage 100% reminds me of Sidibe's. What DID pop for me was the athleticism, the court vision, the reasonably good offensive foundational skills, the shot blocking. This is a decent prospect, he just might need time. [/QUOTE]
