I typically enjoy watching guys in college that can average greater than a steal and a block every 40 minutes pace adjusted. Typically it means long arms and active defensively.
Man, that guy looks bigger than 6'9 haha. Looks really comfortable in the post, though. Big body. Hope he's able to show what he's got for the RGV Vipers.
First short power forwards, then overlooked backup point guards. Now, players with the initials JH. What will be Morey's next great obsession? We need a poll...
