Dok moves really really well for a dude his size.

Sure Mitch is "athletic," but for whatever reason he also gets burned the most.

Dok's only skill is 7-0, 270.

You know who was also athletic....

Bryant Nash!

I had a poster of him up in my bedroom as a kid. LOL couldn't have been too many huge Bryant Nash fans.

I can't agree Dok's only skill is 7-0.
His footwork and duck/moves under the basket isn't just because he is 7-0.
But also, athleticism to me is separate than skill.

Dok is among the most mobile centers we've ever had.

More so than Cole, more so than Jeff, more so than pretty much everybody not named Embiid.

His footwork is so much better year to year too.

He's getting set up and good position right by the basket and once he gets the ball, he knows how to pin his guy and move his body to get into position to get his shot (often a dunk) off.

The timing on his shot blocking looks a lot better this year too.

I wouldn't count out Udoka as a B12POY candidate.
If he averaged 17 PPG, 8 RPG, 2 BPG shooting at 70% - he'd be one of the leaders.
