He really just seems very awkward. BVD, while he will never be a star (in my opinion) could be very much a serviceable player for us if he stays all the years he has. I would love to see him become a bigger version of DMW in his later years as an Illini.

He just seems somewhat uncoordinated for such a leaper. He also reaches in and over constantly. Not sure he will really be an impact player, but hopefully he will continue to grow.

Best press break of the year! DUNK!
That was beautiful basketball right there
2nd Podz sighting. No RJ yet.
Can an offensive player grab hold of the defender's jersey and hang on while he drives to the basket? Asking for a friend.

I'll still take Kobe based upon a comparison of their overall careers. (Admittedly, Kobe did not play college BB, but I'll stack his NBA stats vs. BBV's college stats any day.)
I'll have to give it to you, however, if you're referring to current skills/abilities.

Grandison has the most old man YMCA stroke, but it works.
Meachem calling out DMW for not being ready to shoot. He was spot on.
I'm not sure if he wasn't ready or if he simply refuses to shoot unless he absolutely has to. After his shooting last season, I just don't get it.
Surprisingly very little tick for CoHawk.
Pretty amazing that Plummer has yet to miss a free throw. Give me a couple of Plummers every year....well maybe one who can play defense and one who can't.

It's gotten to the point where I'm confused how Plummer wasn't better at Utah
He didnāt have defenders collapsing on Kofi?
