I like this kid. He is an incredible athlete, and his motor is always in high gear.

He will help us win some games next season. Glad he will be on the team. Tshiewbe and Toppin will be a formidable frontcourt duo.

I agree. I think Toppin should've played over Brooks. Brooks was just so inconsistent, but with Topping you just about knew what you would get each game.

Paulcat I agree with you 100%. Much better player than Brooks. He will be a energizer bunny this year.

I am glad he is back as well. I think Toppin's offensive game is better than most think. The form on his jump shot is really good. I don't want him taking three's, though he did make a few (most were desperation three's that went off the glass), but I think he could have a really good mid range game. But mostly, he is a good defender that rebounds, guards, and plays with energy.

I hope he comes back and plays solid defense - that is how he will stay on the court. He can be a game-changer in terms of interior defense, rebounding, and scoring in transition.
