And for what it's worth, there was another true big in the past ten years at IUBB that, between his first and last year, had his per game point production go up 25%, his FG percentage rise, his blocked shots double, his free throw percentage improve, and his turnovers per minute go down.

For our BtownBanners brain-trust, any idea who?

 

Without going to Google... Tom Pritchard?

I guess there wasn't that much if any drop off for watford junior to senior but I still think he left a lot of growth on the table. 

But being at sports 4 nights a week is going to hold you back a bit

Can Race Thompson give consistent effort in practice and when he sees time on the court? Can he be a good teammate and hold himself and others accountable? If yes, he'll be a tremendous upgrade over Davis.

He's NOT unathletic. He has great soft hands, and when he wants to, he can turn on the speed. His vertical is decent, too...when he exerts himself. He lacks moxie, which may have rubbed off on him from some of the rest of the ragamuffins or might be his natural tendency. 

Since you can't really quantify athleticism and it's tough to describe, you just have to go on the eye test.  And he doesn't pass it.

He can't rebound well.  If his vertical was decent, then he'd dunk more, and I feel like I can count the number of times he's dunked on one hand.  He isn't fast, he has no recovery speed on defense.

He's at his best when someone feeds him the ball and he backs in the defender in the post.  When that gets taken away, there's not much he can do.

If race plays center for us next year I sure hope he can grow a few more inches. Not many players can play the 5 in the bigten as a skinny 6'7". He is hartman light in terms of size

Sad part is he is just one of many many undersized guys we have played at the 4 and 5 over the last 20 years

Thats about as funny as Crean using Etherington to guard Kaminsky then promptly giving up a three point play.
