    Pretty impressive. Even though he's a lefty, he finished several times with his right hand, including a couple of jumphooks.

    Thanks for posting, I'm ready to see this guy in Rocket Red =)

    He's a cross between Toni Kukoc and The Polish Hammer.

    Well, I can offer you 48 additional seconds from the quarter- and semi-finals.

    There are a few other (longer) D-Mo videos on my youtube channel, but they are pretty poorly produced compared to these two (as I'm still learning how to properly edit with the limited tools I have at my disposal).

    Nice! The second video I like! Seems like Scola either could teach him some moves, or he could be replaced by D-Mo! :D
    Either way, I like it! :D

    We will need Scola to teach him a few moves. Some of the moves on the highlights wouldn't cut it against NBA defenses but the fact that he has a semblance of a post game give me hope, since at the end of this season the only person that could claim to have such was Scola

    I hear he averages 13 pts and 7 rebounds against European competition, which confirms that he will need at least a year coming off the bench to develop the skills necessary to start at either PF or C. Still, him being close to 7' does give us more options on what we can do with our two draft picks.

    We have seen the future. This guy should be untouchable, even as a part of a Dwight package.

    Reminds me a lot of Bosh.

    However, definitely worried about his defense.

    I keep forgetting we have this guy and he was once suppose to be a top 5 pick.....He may not live up to that, but i still can't wait to see how he does here. Pretty unique player.

    Along with his ambition and work ethic. Sorta goes well together in a 7' body with hops, quickness and all of those other tangibles. I think it all adds up to potential.

    Lee
    Parsons
    Scola
    D-Mo

    And he is still growing, so he might top out at close to eight feet.

    Not sure about the competition level. Many of the players in the league are slow, not in great shape and kind of raw. In other words, they lacked polish.
