At times looks awkward in the post but appears to be gaining confidence … He’s born in 1989, so he’s nearly 2 years older than the average freshman. But his upside is unmistakable … Needs to work on his free throw shooting (currently shooting below 40%) … Feel for the game is still raw, but not terrible … Still needs to develop his upperbody …
