Chim Kadima update

**cyismydog** · 03-10-2009, 02:08 PM

Chim Kadima is discussed virtually never on this site, but he will turn out to be a very good player when it's all said and done.
Chim has grown by about an inch over the last couple months, and he's now a hair over 6'4". He was leading his team in scoring, steals, and assist, and I think he was second in rebounding when he hurt his thumb. He's really long, (He has a 6'9" wingspan,

)" He's extremely quick, and a great defender. He has also added a lot of range to his jumper, and can get to the paint at will, finishing with either hand. Chim is an athlete, and often guards the others team best player. He starts at PG for a very good Milwaukee Playground warriors team, and is their primary ball handler. Right now, he's an average shooter, way above average defender and penetrator. The things I would like to see him improve on the most are his shot, and his strength. The only other concern with Chim is that he has had a couple of injuries (Broken leg, thumb) but all in all, he's a very good pick-up. I wouldn't be suprised to see him ranked nationally in the top 100 after he gets to play a full season on the AAU circuit.

grown an inch in only a couple of months??

I've been hearing that this summer would be his break-out. I know he had to skip last years AAU season because of his leg. I think he's going to be a good one for us.

Happened with Doug McDermott too...I had a 6'9" high school buddy that got stretch marks on his back from growing so fast.

Since the start of his basketball season in November...a lot of kids grow an inch in a month or less. (I have before.)

Funny how our "unathletic" team would radically shift with he and Colvin added to the guard corps. I also recall hearing that HB liked playing with him last summer.

cyismydog, since I haven't seen video of Chim Kadima, how do he and Colvin compare athletically?

I have only seen him play once in person, and that was two weeks after he first played bball for three months...he was still recovering from a broken leg. From what I've heard, he's not super athletic in terms of hops, but in every other sense he is.

If you're are just looking at athleticism...IMO, Colvin will be the best athlete on the team.

I actually talked the wissports.net guys and so they went to a game to get some Kadima game tape up on the site.....and Kadima broke his thumb a couple days before they filmed Lutheran play.

So I still haven't seen any recent highlights of him except for one thirty second clip.
