Vital looks like he could clear one side of the court by just running down it. Is he really only 230?
well his athleticism isn't suffering. See above.EGOTbear said:

fair enough. He was a beast last year. Just shocked by the visual transformationAshley Hodge said:well his athleticism isn't suffering. See above.EGOTbear said:

solid. I watched him this summer during scrimmages with the vets. I was told he was a good defender. What I saw that day, I would put him in the "potential elite defender" category.NoBSU said:
Gillespie looks bulked up. How is his quickness?
yes and really big hands too. That can hurt shooting percentages.NoBSU said:
Gillespie looks like he can hold his ground which is what worried me about Clark at the 5. I would much rather see Clark at the 4. We can cover him inside if we have more shooters. So short dump-offs to Gillespie are okay but alley-oop lobs maybe iffy with the hands?
Vital's arms are impressive but that can be a detriment to improving your shot.
I think there is a lot of muscle there. There was an insta video where he was deadlifting 550 lbs.EGOTbear said:fair enough. He was a beast last year. Just shocked by the visual transformationAshley Hodge said:well his athleticism isn't suffering. See above.EGOTbear said:

He shoots a lot of free throws after every practice. Trying to get to 70%.gobears20 said:
How does Vital's free throw shooting look? has that improved and has he developed an outside shot? I was really curious about that going into the off season because this guy is the real deal and fun to watch.
Thanks. That's a lot of vertical for 1/8 of a ton!Ashley Hodge said:240 ishEatMoreSalmon said:

freak athlete though
42 inch vertical
6-9 wingspan
2.99 3/4 sprint (very fast)
10.38 NBA lane drill (crazy quick)
He's going to be a match-up nightmare for a lot of bigs with that athleticism/quickness and he will overpower guards in the post.
Hopefully he's learned how to score from more than 3 feet from the basket this season in addition to not constantly laying bricks from the free throw line. Just really had no outside shot whatsoever last year which effectively cancelled out a lot of the other good things he did.gobears20 said:
Thanks! That's great! He seemed like he was improving some towards the end of the year. He is going to get to the line a lot and he is such an explosive player. One of my favorites!
