UPDATE: Ways to describe a basketball player's talent, ranked
SteveNOTE: Ran a version of this post 2 years ago the day after the 2015 NBA Draft, the draft were my New York Knicks did indeed select the 'Unicorn' Kristaps Porzingis in the first round. Fast forward two years later and these same Knicks apparently are flirting with the idea of trading the Unicorn, who is quite literally the only player worth watching on what has become a terrible team. If they do indeed decide to trade Porzingis, I want to make it publicly known that I am no longer a Knicks fan, and will be in search of a new team to support.
Having said all that, let's take another look at the many ways that the NBA analysts and pundits have come up with to describe a basketball player's skills and talents. Did you think 'fast', 'tall', or 'can jump high?' were good enough? Oh no, my naive friend.
After watching about 5 hours of draft coverage, (and pre-draft and post-draft shows), I offer up ways to describe basketball talent, ranked, and as always, these are unscientific, unresearched, and 100% correct.
Here goes...
15. Floor spacer
14. Efficient
13. Switch-capable
12. Rim-runner
11. Twitchy
10. Bouncy
9. Wingspan
8. Fluid
7. Motor
6. Elite-level athleticism
5. Second jumpability
4. High ceiling
3. Grit
2. High basketball IQ
As always, you can disagree with these rankings, but of course you would be wrong.
Have a great weekend!
