KB is nice!! You have my permission to sign him Jimmy!! lol The one dunk brandwiik had :53 in that one video is pretty damn impressive. Siena doesn't have many guys that could do that in warm-ups let alone in game in traffic

Ever since I first saw Willem I knew I wanted him playing for the Saints. He seems to have great hands, court vision, interior and open floor passing, his pick and pop is already very good. Physically, a 6-9 guy who can run like he does, has nice hops, long arms and shoulders to grow into could make him a great player!
The one thing I am not sure of yet is this: I haven't seen him play much D against other quality big men so I don't know how he rates in that department.
Get him Jimmy!!!

Interesting...although I never saw a Bisping video to directly compare, the similarities are striking.
Similiar height, neither blessed with much speed, good outside shots, fundamentally sound, etc.
Bisping regularly gets described as a low major or D2 by some and a liability on D by many. Yet, folks are jazzed about WB despite no evidence of better defensive skills or speed. Puzzling.
For the record, I'm a fan of Brett's game and think his ceiling is even higher than we've seen this year.

Bisping could only dream of running the court as well and the one-handed tomahawk jams in traffic Branderwijk pulls off. There is no comparison in the athleticism of the two.

LOL..I know its not even close.,.. this dude is losing all kinds of credibility to compare the two--its like night and day-- and that's the reason why he is being recruited

Glad it's so clear to you. This way when Jimmy lands him, the 2 board admins can't rail on him like they do Evan & Brett without losing all of their credibility.
I see a 6' 9" kid that is hardly at risk for hitting his head on the backboard while showing off his mad hops. And speed? Please. Maybe you're mixing up your videos and actually looking at Mike Wolfe film.

Tonight was yet another night that exposed how a true combo or backup pg would be so much better than a 5'6" ... "scorer".

Aren't you the one always preaching to everyone to watch BOTH ends of the court?? lol

Maybe you're mixing up your videos and actually looking at Mike Wolfe film. Please- you think Brandwijk and Bisping are the same athletically - tells me all I really need to know about any opinion from you. As for railing on Bisping or Evan-- I have zero problems with either player, both have their positives and limitations, again not surprising you cant see that. Not sure what your agenda is-- we have a thread about a recruit-- you unsuccessfully try to compare him to Bisping - and remember you were the one to bring up Bisping here, then take shots at me? Try to stay on topic in the future. Hope that helps

Agreed Evan probably played his best defense last night- didn't shoot well but cant really fault his defense last night

And he got screwed on that strip of a Q's players shot in the 1st half. It was so clean, I think it was the play that got Jimmy his tech??
