[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1920962, member: 85743"] None of those guys are that strong of 3 point shooters. Especially in today's NBA, you need to have that ability as a big man. Timme is definitely an example of a great college player who would have gotten eaten alive in the NBA. Timme is a great passer, no doubt. but he moves slow as heck and he wouldn't have been able to move laterally quickly, which is needed in the NBA. If this is 20 years ago, all 3 of those players are likely lottery picks. but that's not the way the NBA is nowadays. Big men need to be similar to someone like Jokic (though to be fair he's on an entirely different level by himself). I still stand by my belief that Kofi is still a longshot at best to make it in the NBA. His defense, especially on drop downs on pick and rolls, was gonna be one of the biggest hindrances to him being successful. [/QUOTE]
