    I found this guy on Thesarus.com. No, that's not a joke. Apparently his tweets get words on the sister site, dictionary.com, trending.

    If the league starts trending towards post play, he should be a high level target. Good post moves already as a sophomore and he improved quite a bit from freshmen to sophomore year. He plays pretty decent defense and he's got some range too. Look out for him next year with the Badgers. Based on his vocabulary, I get the feeling he's a smart player.

    His shot doesn't need much work, truthfully. He's .541 for 2P%, .396 for 3P% and .744 from the FT line. What more do you want? A .518 effective FG% is solid.

    Kind of reminds me of everyone's new favorite player, Draymond Green. A jack of all trades kind of inside/outside PF type. But can he defend 4 positions?

    C, PF, SF sure, but I can't see him staying with a guard for a stretch. Only when switching.
