    The kid got little playing time last night but I think he’s got a bright, bright future. That’s obvious though. But his game is so polished as a sophomore already and can pretty much do it all, obviously there’s always stuff to work on but I think this kid is going to end up being great in college and the pros.

    I think its too early to say if he will br great or not. He’s talented but more liekly than not some kids will pass him by the time he is a Sr just like every other freshman who was rated number one ( rmeber Theo Pinson or Renardo Sydney even before he got fat or Derrick Caracter). Not saying he still won’t be a top talent but right now he is bigger and matured more skill wise for his age but in a couple of years guys will have matured as well and skills will mature.

     

    His flaw is he is kinda mechanical and a tad slow, can shoot the lights out though. Theres a kid in Canada that i watched at the FIBA games that will be in the running named Justin Jackson

       I completely understand where you’re coming from. Four years is a lot of a time and a lot can happen! However, like you said I just think his skill set is very unique and polished for an incoming sophomore. Hopefully he’s a hard worker and stuff unlike Sidney or them. Bright future for this kid!

        Yes his future is bright. I just can’t recall ever seeing a kid start out as the number one player in his class as a freshman and end up staying number 1 when he becomes a Sr.

      Pinson is still ranked in the top 15..not fair to put him in the same sentence as guys like Sidney and Derrick Caracter
