LOL, that's why he's a poor mans Duncan. How athletic is Duncan? Not very. The kids game reminds me of him to a T. He just has to play better defense, even though I think Duncan's D is overrated--he's still a good defender. But offensively, it doesn't matter who you are playing against when you move like that in the paint. Nova has seen plenty of good big men in the Big East--why haven't they been dominated like this against all of those guys?
Duncan isn't a freak athlete, but he's MUCH more athletic then Samhan. And who are these great big men Nova has played in the Big East?
Greg Monroe? He average 24 ppg in 2 games against Nova this year, 8 ppg above his season average. He's a total finesse big man anyways, but they still couldn't stop him.
Samardo Samuels put up 21 on Villanova without missing a shot (4 of 4 shooting and 13 of 13 from the line). They couldn't stop him, so they fouled him.
Harangody? Give me a break. He's a 6'8 jump shooter.
The Big East is a heavily perimeter oriented league. There are hardly any true post threats.
And for the record, I'm a Samhan fan. There was an "Underrated players" topic on here a month or 2 ago, and I'm the one who brought up Samhan. His improvement from last year even is unreal. It didn't take until the NCAA tournament for me to notice him. But his game doesn't translate to the NBA at all in my opinion.
