Good for TF, hope he has a long career and makes some doughski.

That might change after game 4
I think this is a good coverage for Kofi's draft prospect. The guy is not really high on him and think he is marginal but I do think he has good points.
1. He needs to NOT get killed in drop coverage. --> Absolutely. No way he can switch completely but drop coverage is often good enough. Celtics plays a lot drop coverage against Curry, arguably the best 3 point shooter in the league, with Al. However, let's say hypothetically Steph drives on Kofi after the p&r in the drop coverage situation. Can Kofi handle it?
2. He has to improve on passing read. --> That is for sure.
3. Get even better on rebound and shot blocking.
Personally, I think mid range out to 15-18 ft will also be very useful. But he probably has to do well on those things above first.
Nice to see some Kofi love here and thereZach Harper's mock draft ($): https://theathletic.com/3360765/202...harper/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983
Kofi #36!!!
BTW, he isn't on Vecenie's latest mock.
I’m sure he will get paid somewhere, but unless he can be a lock down defender it won’t be in the NBA. Wish him the best and look forward to following him wherever he ends up.
Howard is a very good ring protector and a great rebounder. With almost like 20 years in difference, Kofi needs to be nearly that good to have a long enough NBA career.Kofi can provide solid rebounding and inside scoring. Think Dwight Howard type player. Probably not NBA starter material if he does not improve his 3 point shot but definitely could help some teams from the bench. And of course there is always the NFL or WWE. I would love somebody try Kofi at defensive end. He has a fantastic spin move already.
Dwight Howard was also one of the most athletic bigs in the game before he hurt his back.Howard is a very good ring protector and a great rebounder. With almost like 20 years in difference, Kofi needs to be nearly that good to have a long enough NBA career.
I’ll give OP the benefit of the doubt and assume he was talking about 2021 Dwight Howard… especially since he said non-starter.Dwight Howard was also one of the most athletic bigs in the game before he hurt his back.
Saw recent poll to rate top 5 NBA centers...candidates: russel, wilt, jabar, shaq, Olajuwon....Kofi can provide solid rebounding and inside scoring. Think Dwight Howard type player.

Calling Mr. Peabody...Saw recent poll to rate top 5 NBA centers...candidates: russel, wilt, jabar, shaq, Olajuwon....
Ironic that Kofi is probably closer in skills to those than modern centers, ...modern ones didn't show on poll.
Appropriately so, I might add if you're talking "all-time".......1. Russell 2. Wilt 3. Jabbar 4. Akeem 5. Someone other than Shaq -- maybe Moses Malone? Karl Malone? Patrick Ewing? Tim Duncan?Calling Mr. Peabody...

Kofi is a coachable player and great teammate. I think he'll get his break from some team...he reserves it and shown amazing work ethic.
The kid can really shoot though, so I won’t rule him out just yet. I could see a team take a chance on him in some capacityFonz is a 6 ft catch and shoot guard who can't play defense, and will be 25 when the season starts.
Love what he did here and will remember him fondly, but he has no shot of playing in the NBA.
He's literally one of the most gifted athletic humans who has ever lived.Dwight Howard was also one of the most athletic bigs in the game before he hurt his back.
Yeah, young Dwight was the most laterally-quick big man to ever play the game.He's literally one of the most gifted athletic humans who has ever lived.
