[QUOTE="thetherlebowski, post: 1652368, member: 199085"] Aside from ability to guard pick and roll, I think the thing Kofi could do to most improve his NBA stock is improving at finishing around the rim. It seems like Kofi gets blocked a lot when guarded by tall, athletic centers. He needs to learn how to bump them (without fouling) right before going up so they can’t elevate. If he wants to make it based on his unique physical attributes as an against-the-current-trend asset to a team, he needs to turn that physicality into a dominant skill set that offsets his limitations. I don’t think he’s done that yet. I can’t picture him bullying NBA centers for easy layups and dunks based on the last two years of evidence. But I think developing that ability is more likely to get him into the NBA than developing a midrange jumper. [/QUOTE]
