You saying because he doesn’t dunk a lot he isn’t athletic? It sounds like you are not accounting for his late growth spurt in high school. How he plays the game which was initially a post player leading him to be a crazy efficient post wing. Lastly how his game seems destined to age well given he doesn’t rely on his athleticism to be extremely efficient l.
Dunks are good indicator of overall athleticism and star potential; it has very little to do with the Dunks themselves. Most superstar players in the NBA are great athletes especially at age 18-22, there are a few outliers for sure like Jokic, Steph etc... but for someone like Coward who projects as a 3D wing- his lack of explosive athleticism hard caps his upside from likely becoming this2 way superstar wing ala Kawhi, PG13, Tatum esq...
That is all. He can still be a good role player, who plays smart and can be impactful defender like a DFS or Josh Hart type of player.
Coward had 3 or 4 dunks last night. The NBA is a completely different game.
Dude was just talking he didn’t know what he was talking about lol.
