Kind of crazy there might be no place for Cockburn in the NBA. The guy is so freaking huge.
Have to be able to defend on the perimeter too. Like even Shaq would struggle on defense these days. He'd still be an unstoppable monster on the one end, but he'd be a liability on the other.
Edit - Meant the bigboy later Shaq. Orlando Shaq probably could have been reasonable on D.
Obviously he was never a dainty flower. But Orlando Shaq and later Lakers and on Shaq are totally different things.LOL! Big boy Shaq! Like at 12 that boy probably was big boy Shaq!
Cockburn isn't terrible on the perimeter defense. He used to play soccer, so he has good footwork for a big guy.Have to be able to defend on the perimeter too.

he doesn't switch well and would struggle with any smaller dude. Not saying he'll be a scrub, but 20 years ago he'd have been talked about differently.Cockburn isn't terrible on the perimeter defense. He used to play soccer, so he has good footwork for a big guy.
Yeah, their round 1 game was pretty much the shitstomp you expect out of a 16-1 game, no funny business.Baylor has a clear path to the Final 4 now. SIC EM BEARS
yeah the season has been kind of a mess so seeding is a mess which is part of why there's so many upsets. the actual tournament games have been really good though.This year seems like an asterisk * tournament. A championship is nice, but this year of all years seems hollow. I've barely watched.
What because Duke or Kentucky aren't there? GTFO.This year seems like an asterisk * tournament. A championship is nice, but this year of all years seems hollow. I've barely watched.
Lol if you think I give a fuck about Duke or Kentucky you're out of your mind. The level of competition is light years lower than what it has been in past regular seasons. I'm not being a hater. And yes, beating blue bloods on the way to the top is a significant benchmark of a talented team. Sorry.What because Duke or Kentucky aren't there? GTFO.
Was kind of a beatdown even. Big 10 might not be as good as people thought!Baylor got a gift. Down goes Illinois
