From Stefan Bondy:
Some players like to get loose with a few jumpers. Maybe some lay-ups. Get a feel for the rim and the muscles.
Then there’s Obi Toppin.
“He comes in the gym 8 in the morning and his first shot is a between-the-legs dunk,” Kevin Knox said. “His athleticism is just crazy.”
There are few certainties with rookies in the NBA, but this much can be assured about Toppin: athletically, he’s a monster. The 22-year-old power forward showed up to Knicks training camp and set a goal of breaking the conditioning test records.
