Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 74651, member: 837"] This is where people get so confused, IMO, when evaluating these kids. First of all, everyone LOVES potential. Fab as a 7-footer with good athleticism has more potential than AO did as a 6-8 guy with lower leg issues and not much vertical. Secondly, people want kevin mchale down low. Or Hakeem. They want it to look good and they want there to be a variety of moves. What AO did -- score with either hand, clear space with his butt and finish with very basic fundamental low-post moves -- is boring. The problem is this leads to people posting things like "Fab is much better in the post b/c ... " Um, no, he's not. And the truth? He may not ever get there. Maybe he will, but anyone who thinks he's even in the same realm as a low-post option as AO is certifiable, IMO. [/QUOTE]
