It also misspells his last name
Good for TF, hope he has a long career and makes some doughski.

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.
That might change after game 4

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.
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.

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.
Dwight Howard was also one of the most athletic bigs in the game before he hurt his back.
I’ll give OP the benefit of the doubt and assume he was talking about 2021 Dwight Howard… especially since he said non-starter.
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.
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.

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...

I love Kofi but he is nowhere close to being as skilled as those guys. Could you ever see him pulling the move at :50 let alone that casually?
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 capacity
He's literally one of the most gifted athletic humans who has ever lived.
Yeah, young Dwight was the most laterally-quick big man to ever play the game.
