Hannes Steinbach

[RookieStar]

People might hate it and also say its lazy.. BUTTTTT... Prime Moe Wagner is my comparison.

Bear in mind before that ACL injury last season Moe was neck-and-neck with Portis as the 6MOY contender that time.

I think he sorta projects to score in similar ways to Mo but his passing and especially rebounding is night and day.

Wagner but with 22-25% reb% w/ 2+ apg

Moes passing has been great for us. Not his fault we dont have shooters who could convert. But yeah Moe isnt really good at boards. We will see if HS can be better in the league where he faces stronger longer bigger opponents

Rebounding tends to translate pretty well from college, after an adjustment period. I'd say the combination of rebounding, shooting and size give HS a pretty high floor - he just needs to be able to defend well enough to get on the floor in the first place.

It isn't as if he played at Gonzaga and the talent he faced was poor.
He played Michigan this year and had a 14 rebound game vs Morez, Mara and Yaxel.
12 rebound game vs Illinois

He was very consistent player all year.

He does it so well off positioning and not just being more athletic than people. I think it will translate because he has all the fundamentals of a good rebounder. Hannes works hard and does all the little things rather than just be bigger and faster and stronger than who he goes up against which I think will hold up even with the change in night in and night out quality.

Then let me put in an example of a player wr used... wcj at duke was a great rebounder as a rookie. Amd that was with Bagley at his side. Now in the league we Magic fans are screaming he gives off a lot of offensive rebounds to opponents.

Nownis that because our schemes are for bigs to box out andnlet guards/wings gang rebound or he just can outjump bigger C? We dont know.

Like i said.. im hopeful but not expectant.

Reminds me of LMA

Agreed. His rebounding is IQ and motor much like Rodman. I read he studies shots etc.

Did also has massive hands and strong hands. Maybe the best hands in the draft.

If HS develops a 3 ball and a bully ball handle similar to KAT and he would be an All Star and difference maker winning player.

Yeah and if Ebuka Okorie develops a 3 ball similar to Steph Curry he’d be in GOAT PG talks

KAT is one of the best shooting bigs ever and arguably the singular best ever over 7 feet tall.

It is completely unfair to expect Steinbach to shoot like that and I think so many people are miscasting him.

He moves like KAT but I don’t see him shooting like KAT who only shoots 4 3s per game at 40%.

I see him as 3 per game at 35% which will be enough to space the floor and make him dangerous off the bounce attacking close outs.

BTW Okorie’s shot needs work. He dips the ball and his feet are everywhere. Think with the farther line he will dip in volume and percentage.

Chi Town never once asked for HS to shoot the ball like KAT. He asked for him to develop a bully ball handle similar to Kat. I swear all you have to do is re-read before feeling triggered.

Unless his post was edited afterwards.

“If HS develops a 3 ball and a bully ball handle similar to KAT”

How was I meant to take that? Why would he include the 3 ball part if it wasn’t part of the KAT comparison?

KAT has a lightning quick release and an excellent pump fake, and is one of the few 7 footers in NBA history who can pull off that move at a high level. His driving is necessarily dependent on his shot being the weapon it is. KAT is also a superior athlete to Steinbach by a pretty clear margin.

I just don’t understand why we have to use All-NBA level players as comps in this day and age. Steinbach will not and does not need to get to KAT level shooting/driving wise. Thats why I used the Okorie to Steph projection, there’s a huge gap between the two.

How is KAT a clearly superior athlete?

Check the combine for measurements and testing. Nearly identical. KAT didn’t jump but other tests indicate their verts are nearly the same.

Funny how you think KAT is an incredible shooter yet he only takes 4 3s per game.

No edits.

Sorry dude the conversation is pointless if you don’t recognize how special of a shooter KAT is

[GoBobs]

Andre Drummond or Steven Adams with better ft shooting and a sprinkle of 3pt shot possibility.

Those 2 guys are big bulky and stiff... kinda exact opposite of how people describe HS no?

I mean, who are the guys his size with similar volume and efficiency? You keep saying his attempts are low, but he’s like 2nd all time in attempts for C’s and is shooting about 3% higher than the rest of the top 5.

He’s second all time in attempts for centers, and his shooting percentage is the highest ever for centers over 250 attempts, and stat muse even included forwards like Dirk and he’s still the highest.

I never dug this deep into it until you kept bringing it up, but he’s the best 3 point shooting C by leaps and bounds lmao.

He’s gonna finish first in attempts all time, and has a great shot at finishing first in efficiency given his lead there lol.
