The separation he is getting now probably will not translate on the next level and that's going to hurt. He also has a slow shot motion which will give him problems because it allows teams extra time to pack the paint then close out hard on him if he's spotting up.

On defense his lack of foot speed and strength may hurt him on that end.

He should probably stay and try to work on developing his body more and hopefully he can some more athleticism with dedicated S&C.

I would look at it completely different. Hes 6-9 an almost unguardable PG who uses his length to simply shoot pass and rebound right over people. He's number 1 in college PER. And I will agre with you about the need for speed--Im sold on Russ Smith--but my feeling is that Phil DOES NOT want Tyson Chandler and the type of draft pick we might be able to get for him would likely be 10-17. After listening to pHil--and you can hear in Bill Waltons voice--just how unique Andersen is. Phil described the type of player he likes--and Andersen is the type. Dont over rated speed on bigger guys--Larry Bird wasnt exactly the fastest cat.

I just worry about his dribble against quality nba D and I think he lacks the ability to defend any position on the next level. Maybe he can improve with more seasoning but in my opinion he is not ready.

The bottom line is the NBA is void of 7 footers--while he has been inconsistent he gives you enough of these types of games to walk away saying I can use this at 7-2 25 pointy 8 rebounds and a block with good D and hes a solid passer. Im sure Steve Kerr knows who Bachyinski is.

Bachyinski played well. He reminds me of Aaron Gray.the NBA game might be too fast for him to be stater, but he can defly contribute off the bench. I wish we had a second rounder to nab Jahii Carson. That lil guy has the athleticism to thrive. Carson's stock has fallen due to the amount of quality PGs who have come out this year, but he will be a steal.

Aaron Gray? I think some team will get very lucky with Bachyinski--he is much more athletic than gray and runs the floor well. The big man in college basketball is a tough position. Notice how Andre Drummond struggled at Uconn. You would think hed average 20-15 and be a shaq with his size college basketball is a guard dominated sport.

I meant more in the way they moved. Bachynski is very mehcanicla in the low post. He can overcome it with his size at the college level, but he's going to have a tough time finsihing in the League. He's already 25, so its not like he's gonna get more athletic. Maybe Doleac is a better comparison. Anyway, I agree that he's going to be able to contribute in the League.
