Latest Player Profile From The Duke Chronicle - Kyle Filipowski
His NBA future is extremely bright.
The latest Chronicle profile is of the estimable Kyle Filipowski.
Filipowski’s sophomore campaign had some ups and down to be sure, as most do, but he did well.
He moved from forward to center and handled that nicely. He matured a lot too. Last year his spin move was unbelievably quick, but he didn’t always understand how or when to do it, often turning right into guards who picked his pocket.
He figured that out and understood when he could and couldn’t do it.
His passing also was occasionally breathtakingly good. He’s strong enough to zip a ball cross court in a way that not everyone can do and he’s smart enough to see things a lot of other players never see.
He continues to struggle more around the basket than outside. Inside his limited vertical comes into play. Outside, he can drive, pass or shoot the three.
Toss in rebounding and NBA Filipowski is gong to be a valuable asset for whoever drafts him.
