That’s a VERY rare quality that generally only the truly elite players have…just assuming Coward will add all of that it’s absolutely insane as it’s obv an anomaly.
Again I think a smaller, slower Glen Rice is a far more realistic hope for his potential even though I understand how eerily similar Coward’s jumper looks to Kawhi’s.
No one is comparing Kawhi to anyone the convo is about....In college Kawhi if you actually take the time to watch film on him in college....There are flashes you can see him creating his own shot and getting to his spots and hitting tough shots....For a player like Bryant in college not much film like that exists.....It took Kawhi who showed flashes of it to make a rare curve in becoming what he became....Imagine what it would take for a player like Bryant who has not even showed flashes of it in college what kinda super rare curve it would take....Prolly not gonna happen for him and at 9th i think we can get more than a role player....
Coward compared to Bryant at least showed flashes of it...
On top of that he never showed it in HS either. He struggled to get past his defender and either failed to finish or rise up for the shot.
