This kid has some talent. Can do a lot of things around the rim and with his back to the basket.

Also, I can't figure out why Nebraska refuses to put a body on him on rebound opportunities...

Pardon reminds me of guys Michigan State usually lines up against us. Active guys with long arms and high motor.

Good point though - Nebraska played him soft - give him all the credit - but I think the Huskers were shocked

Best play at the center position in as long as I can remember, decades. Great great hands. Think Collins is surprised? Has to be. Olah has never had that kind of stat line, much less in a league game!

Had always dismissed those who were decrying that Pardon wasn't really a center; stated from the start that Pardon looked to be a poor man's Jared Sullinger (who did alright for himself at dOSU and caused 'Cats fans a lot of heartbreak).

Maybe a bit less polished than Sullinger coming out of HS and doesn't quite have the bulk (Pardon seems to me should be able to gain 10-15 lbs of muscle w/o losing his quickness - making him an imposing presence at 240-245 lbs w/ a 7-2 wingspan).

Per your post - also reminiscent of Draymond Green (who since has added a pretty decent 3 pt shot to his repertoire in his time playing for GS).

Also reminds me of Zach Randolph in terms of style. Let's hope he continues to impress like Zach did.

This is exactly what I told a buddy, noting the exception of the outside shot. Fine company, indeed.
