, the Warriors were Topin’s biggest potential next home. Because there is no doubt that Topin is one of the strongest people in this class, what the Warriors need now is immediate combat power to help him return to the top.
Topping’s basketball road can be said to be extremely bumpy. In his senior year, he averaged 20+ per game but was not invited by a prestigious school. At the end of his senior year, he received invitations from some schools and eventually went to the University of Dayton.
However, due to poor academic performance, freshman Toppin could only apply for the red shirt qualification. That year, he could only serve as a sparring team in the team and could not participate in the game.
So although Toppin is a sophomore in the information, in fact Toppin has been in university for three years. This also led to Toppin’s age being generally three years older than others. Most were born in 01 this year, while Toppin was 98 years old. What is the concept of
98? The Celtics' Tatum is 98 years old, and Tatum is only one day older than Topping. Fultz, the top pick that year, was two months younger than Toppin.
In the real freshman season, Toppin made a blockbuster starting from the bench, averaging 14.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and won the best rookie in the Atlantic Top Ten.
he participated in the draft with confidence, but in the end he predicted that the market would lose the election, and couldn't help him withdraw and return to school. Facts have proved that this is a very wise choice.
Sophomore Topping averaged 20 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1 steal and 1.2 blocks, shooting 63.3% from the field. Under his leadership, the University of Dayton achieved the best record in team history with 29 wins and 2 losses. Against the background of
, Toppin once again participated, this time his predicted pick has come to the top ten, and it seems that he will be selected at 5-8.
Topping is 2.06 meters tall, weighs 100 kilograms, and has a wingspan of 2.11 meters. He can play the fourth and fifth positions. The templates given are Kenyon Martin and Stoudemire. The most impressive thing about Toppin comes from his low post attack. He has excellent physical conditions, good jumping ability and explosive power, solid low post skills, and very strong finishing ability at the basket.
Toppin is a player who "plays on the rim". In the past season, he led the NCAA in dunks. His second offense is excellent, which is a nightmare for many defenders.
This past season, he also practiced three-pointers, averaging about one three-pointer per game and shooting 39%. His shooting skills are very proficient, and he can catch the ball and make a jump shot as well as holding the ball. He plays very selflessly, with good speed and court vision.
Toppin’s biggest disadvantage is of course his age, is generally three years older than other hot rookies, so he lost the opportunity to enter the top three picks.
His wingspan is not good, and his side strength needs to be improved. He will suffer a lot when defending heavy interiors. Defense has never been his strength, and his defensive attitude does not seem to be very good.
was predicted to lose last year, and this year it became the top ten, which shows that Toppin's efforts and progress, of course, also shows that the overall quality of this rookie is not high.
But Toppin is the kind of player with a low chance of water, but the upper limit is not high.
