Athleticism happens to be one of those things that often does come down to eye test. From what I have seen Aidoo looks better wit the ball in his hands and seems to move laterally better. He looks less uncomfortable with the ball in his handstand can do more than just dunk which is something anyone 6-11 should be able to do. It really is a hard thing to define because Shaq and Dwitght Howard were athletic for his size but had a different type of athleticism than Wemby? To me AIdoo never popped off the page he is not gonna have a huge vert, and neither is Felix. I think with Aidoo its kind of that sneaky type where he gets to places faster than you'd expect but it does not look like it? Its hard to describe because not a real direct comparison out there maybe he is more fundamentally sound so he seems like he gets to the right place on time a lot? No making a comparison but some folks that are that way would be a Tim Duncan or Luka. They don't look fast or pretty but before you know it they have went by you or beat you to your spot.

I appreciate you answering cause I seriously wanted to hear your opinion. I’d just say, especially for a center, your description sounds more like coordination than athleticism to me. For Aidoo to feel more comfortable with the ball in his hands doesn’t equal more athletic. Imo

As far as him being laterally quicker I won’t argue.. but would be surprised, pay to watch and possibly be there if that could be arranged. 🤣

I do agree it’s tough to describe and definitely requires an eye test

That seems more like bb iq vs athleticism, especially Luka and Duncan. Larry Bird anyone?

No bird is more a basketball IQ thing and it plays a role with those too but they were sneaky athletic. Like Luka is not slow he looks like he'd be slow but is not same with Duncan. Its like you're looking and everytime you wonder how they got there that fast? Its one way he gets so many blocks and steals and how he gets his shot off.
