Seriously, this guy is Ultra lanky, at 7 feet tall, no more than 200ish pounds - he's going to get snapped in half in the NBA.
You make the statement that he's going to fill out to 260 - not all players CAN do that, and if they do, they loose their "bounce" like this guy.
I mean, think about it, Bynum came into the League at 7 feet, 300 pounds, and was a slim guy. I'd rather a Bynum-type than a McGee-type. Those thin, pogo-type guys usually end up getting injured lots :(
No he is bigger than 200 pounds--more like 240 pounds. If anyone has been paying attention to te NBA--speed has incorporated itself into the game. That is one of the several reasons why I like Mcgeee and Randolph--very unusual speed from the C and PF position to go along with great agility ballhandling and all of the skills--these are the new hybrid type of frontcourt player you need to be able to get up and down.
