    Source: http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1246973 and yahoo front page.

    I youtubed him to see some highlights and the first thing I notice was how he has a or some mid range game(his idol is Dirk Nowitzki so we could see his shooting range expand later on), his basketball IQ and court vision/awareness. It was also nice that he mentioned that he has a lot to improve and would like to work on his handling/shooting range a lot more.

    Youtube Highlights:

    I’m hoping that the links can like show how he has progressed…not to spam

    What do you guys think?

    *I wanted to put a full article and picture instead of the source and links but since this is my first post, I do not know how and I don’t want to have a really long text which may annoy some of you guys.*

    He’s going to be all the new hype after getting placed on the 2013 team.

    He definitely improved over time, looked pretty stiff in the first video.

     O i usaly dont believe in prospects until atleast there senior year but this kid can litteraly do everything for his size and such a young age . Im not saying he is a garanteed NBA star but if he works on his 3 point shot and back to the basket moves and if he gets a Dirk fadeaway he could be something special

    if he gets a crossover he could be a 7 foot white Iverson (not THAT one 4th D)…and if he gets court vision he could be Magic…and if he gets bit by a werewolf he could dunk just like MJ (not THAT one)…

     Like Omphalos said, he looks realllly stiff. It probably has something to do with him being an awkward teenager, but body control is massively important in College Ball, and in the League. Hopefully he grows into his body, and get some fluidity sooner, rather than later. 

    He’s an elite player though. Somebody’s going to invest a lot of time and money into him. If he gets high-level training, they’ll work on his core strength a lot, and hopefully that will give him some more flexablity and body control. His overall skill level is pretty nice for a dude that big and young though.
