Everything Christian Koloko

[Jclaw]

Abbas..where you at? Well, it’s been 30 seconds and no new thread so here it is

Off the Florida Keys (well, way off), there’s a guy called Koloko.

And now he’s a Raptor

We know the narrative. Now go make your own story. Welcome to Toronto

We're going to have to be patient, he's pretty raw. Great pick though!

[Bonus Jonas]

Watching highlights, happy to see he doesn’t just rely on athleticism for rebounding

Almost always boxing out

I was just watching some highlights... Bill Walton said "That's the foot work of McHale and Olajuwon." about Koloko.

Absolutely love the pick. Had him top of my board and that usually means the Raps pass on the guy for someone out of left field but very excited they agree with me this year!

Huge defensive upside. Great rim threat on the roll. There's hope he can develop a shot, lots of good signs there. And is a late bloomer like Pascal so it's even hard to write off the playmaking/ball handling, though there's a ways to go there.

He grew up playing soccer and went into basketball late. That almost always translates to good footwork.

His route is eerily similar to Pascal.

Broadcast said he started playing basketball at 12

Not quite Pascal level late bloomer but still a way later start than most NBA guys

[Bonus Jonas]

He’s got a very good form on his shot

73% from the FT line is solid numbers for a big man. Even if he's not stretching out super far there's something there

very very happy with this pick he was one of the guys I had on my list but he wasn't the top guy on my list. Jake went a bit early.

Raptors fans before the draft: We want to get Mo Bamba!
Masai after the draft: We now got Mo Bamba at home.
