"In high school he was only 6'6 as a junior and perimeter-oriented, and when he grew to his current size 6'11 and 250 lbs, he retained all of those skills. he needs to improve his shooting and he isn't a great jumper, but he's as fast as any frontcourt player in the NBA and faster than alot of guard. He has unbelievable hands, his basketball IQ is off the charts, and he is a great passer. There are very few forwards his size who can grab a defensive rebound and lead the break-- Im talkin about eight dribbles and then making the right pass in transition. He looks like the kind of guy who is not going to back down from anybody!" scouts take in SI mag out today!
