Would be an unreal addition for Buzz and the funky bunch. By all accounts a great young man with tons of talent and leadership.

Getting that year of experience and more importantly work with our coaches would be huge come the following season when Marfo is gone.

Quote:
247 sports recruiting profile of Kepnang listed his player comparison to current Jayhawk Silvio De Sousa, citing his ability to dunk as well as his "tremendous build and length." That kind of athleticism is would make any college coach excited, but there is one drawback: he's a "limited offensive player" according to 247.
The good news for Kansas basketball is that Bill Self has a great reputation for developing four-year players, and Kepnang seems like a great target. He has a great frame plus exceptional athleticism, and if Self and his staff can improve the finer points of his game, Kepnang has a shot at the NBA.

Does sound like he's probably a multi-year college player, because of a still very limited offensive skill set.

He has actually developed a three point shot. I'm not going to say he is a great shooter, but he is expanding his game. He actually has a nice looking shot for a guy that's spent his entire basketball career on the blocks.

I have no desire to see the one post on the court A&M A&M shooting 3-pointers.
I don't. The should be to have your 1-4 who can score from anywhere on the court. I prefer for the one post player to be in the paint grabbing boards and establishing a low post presence that can facilitate the inside-out game.phorizt said:

He's only about 10yrs behind the current game. 99 thinking would need 2+bigs.
Think you misunderstood. He was defending you. He was saying you aren't 20 years behind because you aren't talking about a 2 big man lineup.Hop said:expresswrittenconsent said:AgEfan said:

That is an ignorant statement especially when I've discussed the one post system on this very thread.

This isn't the NBA. Last season dramatically changed when Nebo established himself as a weapon in the low post which collapsed defenses and created open perimeter looks with the inside-out game. It wasn't just a coincidence that Chuck Mitchell's 3-pt percentage improved in the second half of the season.
