Have you watched film on Koloko? My question to all the Kessler apologists: Why do you like Kessler more than Koloko?
He's already 22 and he's still way too skinny, guy's built like Porzingis (at least he's not built like Holmgren though). Struggles with physicality a bit. Some wings and even guards at the NBA level will be able to bully him unless he puts on a fair bit more muscle. Not as good at defending the PNR. A little more prone to fouling, tends to allow blow bys on the perimeter more than he should which is worse for him because he's not as good with the off hand. And some of it is just the gaudy block numbers that display clear instincts, 19% block percentage vs. 10%. I'd rather have the bigger body when a team like Golden State puts a guy like Looney out there
