Other than being a more consistent shooter I'm not sure that he has the physical ability to develop much more. He just wasn't blessed with great quickness or leaping ability.

He needs to model his game after Zach Randolph if he wants to stick in the league. They are very similar players and body types

You pretty much nailed it. Needs to develop a consistent shot out to atleast 15-20 feet and preferably to the 3 point line. Improving his ft shooting to the 75-80% range would also benefit him.

You also have to think, who on the next level is stokes going to be able to guard effectively? He's 6'8 and is too slow laterally to guard most 3s and some 4s. He doesn't have insane leaping ability so he's not gonna be a great shot blocker in the league. Are you really gonna spend a 1st round pick on a somewhat undersized (height wise) 4 with a limited NbA post game? I don't think so. The Bobcats might but I wouldn't. I'm not saying stokes is bad or I don't want him to do well. He just needs to seriously develop his post game for the NBA. He struggles finishing bunnies in college, how will he do it in the league?

Good points. I think most of us expect some vast improvement in Stokes this season. If his game is relatively the same as last season it would be a disappointment and would raise question on how well would he contribute at the next level.

Well he holds offers from a dozen schools, but yeah IN and AZ are definitely much more prestigious than the list he has for his favorites.

Where are you seeing that he has dozens of offers? His rivals profile you posted only shows the three offers (Miami, Kansas St, and Witchita St) but obviously that isn't right. I just want to see what all offers he does have.

Jack Dempsey would toughen his skin by rubbing walnut oil on it in the old days.
I'd recommend the practice if you are new to message boards.
Welcome aboard.
