Jared has NEVER looked that lean and really at this point Caleb looks no different than the vast majority of NBA bigs.
Elton Brand is a good comp.

Not really. Brand was an elite shot blocker at college and during his prime, and was more athletic all-around. Similar measurements, although Brand was also longer.

All he does is dunk. Last time I checked you need more skills.

There are other highlights that were provided earlier in this thread that have shown he has various other skills (ie/ mid-range & 3pt shooting, defence etc)
I suggest you take the time to scroll back through the last few pages to ease your concerns.

What about Z-BO+ 3pt shooting?

I feel like I've seen enough. Decision made.

I'm still at the point where I want to know more about pretty much everyone, and haven't even watched all the DX vids on everyone yet, but the guys I'm most interested in who might/should be around at 23:
Swanigan
Semi
Adebayo
Hartenstein
A few more who I think are interesting:
Kurucs
Jeanne
Ferguson (is it bad that I was more interested when I thought he was Australian? It's bad, right?)
Giles
Leaf (I think he's getting the unathletic white guy treatment, and I'm not sure if it's accurate)
Bolden
Bell
Not so high on:
Lydon
Wilson
On a side note:
Anyone else find something strange about Peter Jok's shot? I don't know if it's a slow gather or low release or what, but I thought it looked weird in the video I saw. It actually looked more fluid in the game clips I saw though, so maybe it doesn't mean anything.
Look forward to the continued discussion here.

Elton Brand was a very good defender. And for those saying Z-Bo, he was also (and still is) a very good defender.
I can't find any evidence that Caleb is capable defending PnR, or even that he consistently makes good help decisions. If I'm just missing something, please correct me. The better comparison IMO is a slightly less talented Jahlil Okafor, and I'm just not sure how you win in today's NBA with back line defender like that.

He's an underrated passer too. Top 10 in assists among bigs and ast/TO ratio.
