I agree, regarding his athleticism. I believe his explosion is what's more in question. Which is really something that could be extensively debated regarding bigs. It would be nice if everyone had Amare Stoudemire type explosion coming out of college but it's pretty rare for a 7' to be at that level with so much height and mass. I personally think he'll be a steal once he falls out of the top 5 or even top 10 picks (if the draft ends up coming together that way).
sometimes when you type the words of the article in google it will bring up other places where the article for insider is located or someone that copies it and posts it somewhere else.
Cody's athleticism is surprising to me... as it doesn't translate perfectly to his game. Hence the explosion comments I guess. While you could compare him to any number of players to gauge his game, it seems easiest to compare him to his brother. Cody is clearly, undeniably the much better player. But it is interesting to note that Tyler put up very comparable stats his senior year as Cody did this past year. Extremely comparable... slightly better even. Cody is obviously a lot younger, has more athleticism, a more fluid and better offensive game, etc. And since that's where Tyler struggled the most, it's what makes Cody a much better prospect. Tyler wasn't a great rebounder his first year.. in fact was pretty subpar in that department for a guy his size. But you would think Cody's superior athleticism could help him here. Tyler's play has probably hurt Cody. You wonder how a guy who put up nearly 10 boards a game in 28 mpg in college, can't get 6 in similar time in the NBA. And start questioning whether Cody will have the same problems. Still, I can see 14 points (on 48% ish shooting) and 7-8 boards or so in just north of 30 mpg.
