re: Is courtese cooper any good

I have seen Cooper in a March practice as well as follow what Wade has said about him.

He does not seem to be as tall as KBW, but does appear to have good athleticism. He should provide some shot blocking, but not to the extent of KBW, of course. He appears to have better offensive moves in the paint than KBW. Hopefully, he will continue to add to his strength during the summer to aid his defense and rebounding against the larger SEC post players. He did not take any outside shots during the practice I visited (not sure if that will be part of his game). Previous coach before LSU had commented on his intelligence and learning ability.

I'm really excited about the upcoming season. Even though we lost Naz and Tre, we will have more players with experience in Wade's system. We will have a significant amount of talent again!!
