Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 2365510, member: 966"] I read the game thread before watching the video. I didn't agree with many of the comments that reported that Chukwu was 'horrendous.' I thought he was 'okay' and that some of his issues could be corrected by just calming him down. In the opening minutes, it was like he just tried to do too much, and his problems are attributed to him taking huge, aggressive steps toward an opponent, rather than smaller, 'wider' steps. He can't respond laterally when his forward lunges have his feet spread so aggressively north and south, rather than east-west. I thought, after the first stint, he was better in that respect, but i was only watching casually. He's still not strong with the ball, though, and his hands should be better. Moyer. I need to go back to look at his high school video. When we were first looking at him, i thought he was going to be a Grant Hill-type of player. I thought he was leaner and more of a finesse guy. Maybe he grew vertically, and now, also, he always seems to be 'softer' around the middle. Like others, i kinda would like to see him with a different physicality. I don't know if it's possible to get him both leaner and stronger, but it looks like the kinds of moves he relies on would be better-executed with more quickness. And he doesn't seem big enough to be a real power player. So, in between means there's a compromise. I can see him doing alright against the Sisters of the Poor for a while, but against league competition, i worry. Battle. Also concerned about him being the feature player. My memory sucks, but i'm flashing back to Todd Burgan and Dave Johnson. Too many shots, and too much reliance on the three. It's early, though. Marek. Will be fun to watch on defense. I'm surprised that he really is this thin, though. It's kinda like the fuzziness of that primitive euro footage we saw of him added a few pounds. In crisp amur-kin video, he's a bookmark. Frank. Same player, better jumper. I didn't see much that gives me confidence in his playmaking and leading/directing a team. So, yeah, he's going to score more, but i'm worried he's not the guy we should really want orchestrating the offense. Sidibe. Pretty much what i expected, having seen him only in the one all-star game. He'll be pretty good in three years. [/QUOTE]
