He had Bol Bol in high school as a skilled 7-footer.SFCityBear said:
And when you look at a guy like Conor Vanover, who do we have who is capable enough to play against him and make Vanover better?
Now he has a variety of body types and styles to work against. Kelly has good strength and post moves for Connor to work on defending the low block. For defending the rim he gets to try and stop Sueing who's proven to be a very good finisher, as well as the quick and athletic JHD, McNeill and Austin, who can at least get to the rim, even if they aren't so good at finishing.
Working against Vanover is good for them too.
It's really hard to question Connor's improvement this year. He's progressing far better than any of us expected.
