Measurements are in....

[NO-KG-AI]

Ibaka is moving from "interesting athletic prospect" to "wow, I really want him and I think he could have value as a player too" the write-ups on DX for him made me think of a pre-pot Keon Clark and that would be a very good player on this team.

He looks like Josh Smith with about 4 inches of standing reach. blocks everything. I really like his actually basketball skills though, he's not just an athlete.

I honestly don't know how he is rated so low, must be smokescreen, someone will take him.

Pot? I thought Keon Clark's thing was that he played every game drunk off his ass.

/me joins the Ibaka bandwagon, he sounds better than Deandre Jordan
Plus we could call him Iblockya.

If you haven't checked him out, do it! :E

Josh Smith is giving him too much credit. Smith is one of the most underrated players today. (Only way I know of him is that I have him for fantasy)

I think the issues are simple
-When is the last time a "straight from Africa" prospect did anything in the league?
-Not sure what his real age is.
-Sene
-A lot of mid-late 1st/early 2nd 4/5 prospects this year.

Those issues are not big for me, simply because I see a blossoming offensive game, and his productivity at the European level as a sign he can and will improve.

I see a stronger Keon Clark, and that excites me.

Nice video, put them in the media thread please.

Sad enough it was both.

Not having seen any of his game, I think of Sean Williams in Ibaka

[revprodeji]

If you have not seen his game, what are you making that comparison from?

I really have to question that, no way is Ibaka under 35 inch vertical... he must have been hurt. but that 9'3 standing reach is wowing, about the same as Tyson Chandler

Typo imo. person hit a 3 instead of a 4 when entering the measurments!

His standing vert is only 28 inches, thought. So, unless he gains 15 inches on his vert when he runs, it is most likely not a typo.
