re: 2020-21 Men's Basketball Preview (long)

take anything Wade says in the preseason with a grain of salt

I remember Wade saying that Penn was a more polished and skilled offensive player which is obvious when you watch his highlights. I don't think he said Penn was more athletic which is noticeable when you see how well Kavell ran the floor and jumped. Wade said that the difference on defense is that when someone takes it to the hoop Penn will alter the shot while Kavell would actually block it. My question for Penn, despite his size, is about his rebounding ability. I think he didn't meet expectations at Washington in that area.
