    I recall this kid being highly-touted in high school (like a top 10 recruit), but then apparently amicably, left the Kentucky program to enter the draft where he went undrafted. Anybody know what the story is? He seems like he had an NBA body in high school and could do a lot of everything.

    Yeah…. He was on the cusp of top 10 leaving high school. He was a little raw coming out of high school. He has really strong physical skills, long arms, quick and a good athlete. He is just really raw.

    He was a starter at Kentucky but struggled to score and lost his starting job after like 10 or so games. He got pissed and dropped out of college to prepare for the draft. He really would be best served trying to play inEurope for awhile.
