The thing about rysheed and Felix’s athleticism is that they couldn’t jump off one foot, and in games that ability is huge. Personally I always thought Jakarrs athleticism was a bit overrated, for instance i thought harkless’ functional athleticism to be more impressive.

LJ probably isn’t a top 10% athlete but on the Marillac scale I’d refuse to go any lower than a 7.5

I think Sampson was a great athlete, but he just wasn't a very smart player. Would have been great if someone would have taught him to pass the damn ball.

+1000 on the passing part

I think the two foot v one foot dunk is power v finesse. Rysheed was all about power.

Sure but it requires space and time to take off and much harder in traffic

Every 4th grader in CYO can hit a layup off one foot. You don't think all of our guys can as well? I don't think many guys dunk on one foot in traffic. That has devastating ankle injury written all over it. All of LJ's dunks were wide open.

Yea because a wide open layup line is the same thing. You’ve been around the game of basketball for how many years and you’re gonna pretend like one foot and two foot jumpers are not a thing?

Doubt you could find me a highlight of rysheed Dunking off one foot and yes IMO not having that ability is drawback. Simon and pointer can go off either. Rysheed and Felix were basically entirely 2 foot jumpers.

Sampson, Balamou, Pointer and Simon are all 9 to 10

If Balamou is a 9 or 10 - then why was he so bad?

Because good basketball players can dribble and shoot, as well.
