The big question mark right now is obviously defense. He had some good blocks in the highlight videos, but we know zero about his ability as a defender.

CJ Lufile looks good in a practice video. The real test comes in his ability to learn a system and play defense.Comment

CJ Lufile was also a part of teams that went 65-10, went to a F4, had an undefeated season and earned a 1 seed, if I may backhand compliment your backhand compliment.Originally posted by Dan View Post

Honest question: any resemblance to Eric Hamilton? High hopes, instant offence, but could not find a home on the floor.Comment

You really never know for sure. Not a lot to go on but I have high hopes. Among other things that have me thinking positive about JoB is the various comments we heard about how impressed the coaches were with this young man OFF the court. Until proven otherwise I am feeling good about JoB.Originally posted by atlwsu View PostComment

Not being too hyped. But it's gonna be very crowded in the paint for Memphis's big man. Loving it.Comment

Having watched some game film (many of Spire's games are on YouTube), I think his biggest challenge will be adjusting to how hard he needs to go on every play on both ends of the court. That's to be expected to an extent, of course, but he tends to be slow to recognize that a shot is up and therefore is often too late to work for the rebound. It's not "young Durley/Morris" type sloth: It's clear that he's got an engine. It's just that the engine doesn't run on every play. This could also be a byproduct of just not having played for very long.
Those hands, though. Guy catches everything and transitions to ball-handler very quickly and fluidly. When his defensive and rebounding instincts catch up to his offense, we'll be looking an NBA-level talent.“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

Yep, he has skills but he’s never really played high level b-ball. He’s way behind our other guys and prob a redshirt candidate.Comment

I'm buying, but do figure he'll take a bit of time. I think he'll have some issues with lateral quickness and therefore more fouls and less PT because of it. But he looks to me if he works hard and listens to our awesome staff, he'll go to the NBA.Comment

I think he has NBA potential but will definitely need to work on skills. Playing time will be earned by playing defense. Euros typically struggle with this. The sooner he figures this out the better and then the sky is the limit.Comment

it sounds like he doesnt have a "motor". it usually takes some time to acquire that asset.Comment

I don’t think skills are an issue. It’s surely more about learning to play hard and be in the right position.Originally posted by jcdshocker View PostLivin the dreamComment
