IIRC, the knock on Gobert is his attitude/motor. I could be mixing him up with some other Euro prospect, so don't take it as the gospel. His measurements are sick though.
I don't know if Gobert can play but his Measurements are sick. 10 ft standing reach omg! I say we look at him if he has a good motor.

He's 6'7.5, haha. 6'8 in shoes. But a 3.4 GPA isn't bad at all.Originally Posted by GillyFan
He has good genetics, too.
I realize we have what is supposed to be our point guard for now and the foreseeable future in Kemba Walker but if he struggles this season do we look at drafting another point guard to compete for the top spot?
I am not privy to a lot of the freshmen of this years college class but I was reading about an anomaly at the pg position from UCLA named Kyle Anderson. The kid is 6 "9" and he seems to be highly rated for more than just his unusual size. If he looks really good and we are really bad again do we pick him should he be available to us at least in the first round? I have a feeling this kid will shine on a really good team. I know nothing but it is just my gut feeling. Sometimes that feeling proves to be right, most of the time not so much. I will just wait and see. I have not written Kemba off and him playing bad is not a prediction but a hypothetical scenario.

I don't know if this'll make sense but Anderson is more of a Point Forward than a Point Guard. He has great handles, passing, and vision, but he is nowhere near athletic enough to play either PG or SF and isn't good enough of a shooter to take advantage of the room he'll be given in the NBA. I look at him a lot like a taller Kendall Marshall. Great "pure point skill" but super one dimensional.
If last year's Finals told us anything, is that the NBA is becoming more of an "athlete's league" than a "basketball player's" league. None of LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Westbrook, Harden, or Durant have a true basketball position. But all are super athletic, have great size/length, and can play just about anywhere on the floor and still take advantage of defensive matchups with the way the rules favor offensive talent.
If I'm Cho, I stay far away from guys who aren't (at the very least) above average athletes packaged with size to go with it.
Agree with Swedd, if he packed on about 50 pounds without losing any of his athleticsm I would be all over him though. Nowadays you've either gotta be quicker than your opposition, stronger or preferably both.
In Cho we trust
Kyle Anderson makes Kevin Love look athletic.
Love Kyle Anderson's game.. Dunno how his stock will be effected due to his athletic ability.
If Kemba has another season like he had last year (which I don't think he will) then I say we shop him while he still has a lil trade value
I'd rather have Kenny Anderson. Right now.
Dunno bout all that
