But when I saw him, I thought he was good, but he didn't stand out at that time as head and shoulders above the other college athletes, imo, the way some future pro stars do when they're in college. He didn't POP as transcendent among his competitiion.
Again, that's just one game, and I'm no scout. But that's what I thought.
I’ve followed Bane his whole TCU career as a Former Frog myself.
He has the tools to be a great rotational player when not asked to carry the offense as he was for much of his TCU career. That is not the player he is and at times it resulted in his game looking clunky.
He is strong as an ox but does lack elite athleticism and length.
He is okay with the ball in his hands but I wouldn’t consider him a second creator. I’d love him as an 8th or 9th guy but don’t see him ever being an NBA starter on a contending team.
And I am a huge fan of Desmond the person and the player...I hope he surprises me and makes a big jump.
