Right now, from my persepective, Poole is a better NBA prospect than Stauskas was.

Donāt remember seeing any zone defense. They play strictly man-to-man.

All due respect but are we really comparing Poole to Kobe? Come on. Thereās no doubt heās been an impact player and he consistently makes the tough shots in big moments, but Iām not even sure heās even the first or second most important player on his own college team. I think heāll bee the classic late first round Beilein player- a guy with a terrific skill set and feel, but lacking the athleticism and nba body of the one-and-done lottery picks (such as Langford). I think heāll be a really solid nba player, but I see his role and potential as more of a high-end Hardaway, a starter and good nba player but not a star.
I donāt know if it was his fault but I remember the D missing those switches when Brandon was on the court.
I thought I saw them mix in some zone looks when Romeo and Juwan were both on the bench in the first half. To your point, thatās not something they normally do so I was curious.
He has more to offer an NBA team. Think this is inevitable IMO.
Itās not a bad life as a high end THJā¦4years/$71M contract. I think Jordan could live with that IMO!

So true. Nobodyās crying for him
I said āhe is truly reminding me of a young Kobe Bryant.ā certainly you didnāt take that as a comparison I wasnāt comparing the two. Jordanās skill set in his jump back, quickness, range, drive to the basket, ability to use the glass, passing (actually heās already better than Kobe ever was at passing), dribbling, seeing the floor, rebounding, cross over, and swag remind me of Kobe. The build of Jordan is 1 inch shorter and 10 pounds lighter than Kobe but that was after Kobe was in the NBA. That was a comparison of which you made not me by Kobe having an NBA body, you donāt think Jordan does?
