     I am a Louisville fan and it is awesome to see them recruiting 5 star wing V.J King but there is one issue… I don’t know anything about him!!! If anyone knows anything about him (at all) just post it.

     There’s actually this really cool website that will tell you about everything you need to know about V.J. King, or any athlete for that matter. It’s got college guys, NBA players, and some (but very few) high school players. I like the website a lot when I’m doing my research… It’s called wikipedia.

    he’s 6’8" with a promising frame. He is a good but not great athlete. What makes him elite is his offensive prowess. He can score from every level and is making rapid progress in creating his own shot. He’s a good ball handler for his size and plays a very mature game. He will play the 2-4 positions and maybe even some small ball 5. I’d compare him to a Harrison Barnes but he isn’t quite as far ahead of the curve physically as Harrison was at a similar stage, But he may have better ball skills and natural scoring instinct than Barnes at a similar stage in development. I think vj COULD be a one and done but would benefit from atleast two years in college developing his body. If he becomes more explosive as he matures, the sky is the limit

     He’s OK. His progession hasn’t kept up with some of his peers which has led to him slipping in the rankings a bit.  At best a 2 year guy, possibly 3 year depending on how he physically develops. Thin frame, but has good length for a SF.  Other than that his best quality offensively is his mid-plus game. He has a face up, jab step game and has a knack for pulling up.  He’s gonna have to pick up his intensity and develop a better 3 ball if he wants to flourish under Pitino.  If he stays patient with it, I think he picked the right program to shape his game for the pros. Physical toughness, defensive intensity and 3 pt shooting are all weaknesses in his game which happen to be 3 things that Pitino emphasizes.

    He has good size for a wing although he needs to get stronger. He is athletic and thrives in an uptempo setting, is a good scorer, can handle the ball, can create his own shot off the dribble, good spot up shooter and moves well off screens, needs work on his consistency as he can disappear at times.

     Used to go to Akron St. Vincent then transferred to Paul VI

    Has good measurements for a guard/sf, 6’7. Has a thin frame, and good athleticsm. Best thing about him is that he can just score. Post ups, Transition, catch and shoot, off the dribble shots. Although I think he will disappear in games with stronger guards against him.. I dont know about his defense.
