He is fluid and bouncy -
He has slow feet defensively but that will improve. Silky smooth offensive game. So confident in his jump shot. Loved those clutch free throws to seal it. Both one and ones and he goes 4/4.
He’s good on offense .
If you mean rebounding - I agree
The last rebound he had was incredible. He jumped so hi and aggressively attacked the ball at his highest point. It was a thing of beauty.
He’s a good rebounder because he’s so long and bouncey
He also has great anticipation.
I’m very bullish on him.
Yep! I thought the exact same thing watching him soar for that board..very impressive play and probably the most important rebound of the game.. then calmly sinks 2 clutch FT immediately after...love this kid
I think defense is more coachable than offense. So really looking forward to his development.
Yeah....I am not sure I didn't think much of him, but I didn't see an impact player as a Freshman for sure. He is really good, really talented and probably underrated coming into college.
I agree. Playing great defense is utilizing sound fundamental techniques and combining those with a great desire to impose your will on your opponent by preventing him to do what he wants to do on the court, thus taking him out of his game. The timing of the opposing team's offense then becomes disrupted by solid individual defense, which results in turnovers, poor shot selection and a breakdown of confidence.
I truly believe the young guys, and most of them are, are afraid to get in foul trouble. They don’t understand defense yet, how physical you can and need to be. They don’t want to be on the bench with fouls.
Sorry....he's talented but I'm not seeing Grant Hill ball handling skills as yet.
Champagnie is a nice player.
He is Chevy in body type and the rebounding realm. He clearly is no Chevy when it comes to his shot. His form and range make him a Ferrari when compared to Chevon Troutman. That said, Chevy was a much better defender, but, Penny has plenty of time to get there.
