Kofi seems to think he has the skills and just needs the chance to show it. Won't get that in the college game. He is willing to walk away from NIL money.
Some close to the program are saying he not only has below average ball skills, his off season work out habits have not been quite up to par. They are not saying he is lazy or is bad guy or does not work hard, just does not always go the full extra mile. Like showing up for optional summer work outs.
He does not have the skillset they want at this point. Could develop some of it in G league or overseas, or if someone will carry him on a roster for a couple years who thinks he can develop.
We have run a pretty standard 4 out 1 in offense with him in halfcourt.
Nothing has prevented him from showing better court vision, the ability to pass, hit a face up jumper, the ability to put the ball on the floor from the key, make his initial post up move or pass quicker before he gets doubled, show he can run the floor and finish on the break. etc.
And nothing prevented him from showing better ability to guard in space, or protect the rim.
He was phenomenal at creating space for off rebounds and putbacks, and basic post ups against most college defenders not as strong or as tall as him.
He showed great effort every game.
Unfortunately most everyone in NBA playing inside is fast, strong, long, and a quick off the floor jumper. And they have some of the above skills.
Both Trayvon Williams and Trayce Jackson Davis are showing up in some second round mocks now ahead of him.
