Not looking to debate, but he just looks under that 6'10 measurement. Love the wingspan & reach though. At 21, he's got a lot to work with.
I believe this kid was pretty touted out of H.S... didn't explode as a freshmen in college.. with his measurements though surprised no one took a flyer on him before us. Kid has got decent talent, excited to see how much he improves. As much as I love Scola, I think he has to go. Without a doubt the heart and soul of this team. Great leader, great player, and great person but that PF/Rotational C spot is too important for our young guys. With D-Mo,Smith, and hopefully a healthy Patterson next year they are gonna need some PT to grow. Get Riddy Rudy and Dally too.
The broadcast team actually did a good job last night of pointing out some of the basic fundamental basketball skills he's lacking. I think he's still a project that needs alot of work, but there's no excuse for him not to at least give you a Reggie Evan's type of big man next season off the bench. His rebounding fundamentals and skills will be the one deciding factor of whether he's going to have a decent career in the NBA or not.
Are you reading any of this? You literally can't process any of this information without someone naming a specific player to compare him to, can you?
Thinking about it, if he develops he could be the perfect compliment to Donatas Motiejunas inside the paint, with his physical and bruiser type game meshing with D-Mo's finesse.
