The bar has been set already for defensive bigs, Gawdbert is the standard (taller & longer than Trill). Will Trill be as good as Rudy
No, Rudy has higher BBIQ on both ends than Trill. Trill has defensive versatility. Can guard damn near everyone. Can play the joker and can protect the rim but it's the in between that gets me thinking he might not be the defender he's hyped to be. The little things that Chandler does so well, WCS doesn't do. You can say well, Towns did it but what about his Soph or Fresh year. Defensively, you are looking at a D. Jordan type defender with a lot more defensive versatility but without true center size. That means a lot in the NBA. If you are too weak to defend centers in the paint, who will guard the center for you? This another Ben Wallace situation maybe?
Think about this, he's lighter than Al Horford. Dude is Noah's weight but doesn't have the BBIQ or toughness Noah has. Even then, Noah has had health issues in the NBA and was much more durable in college than WCS. I am not drinking the WCS koolaid. He's going to be a role player, maybe a good one but he's not Tyson Chandler. He doesn't have the great BBIQ Tyson has, in fact, he limited in that like DeAndre. I can't front, homie is an extremely gifted athlete. His lateral quickness is something guards want much less a center. To move that well is freaky.
