Yeah, I rember him leading his team on a realy nice NCAA touney run. The guy has skills and size. Really dominated the college guys.
This guy is basically the closest thing to the 'Next' Tim Duncan on the college forefront for years, even though some scouts say he's closer to the Clipper's Kandi than Duncan, he's still got the raw abilities and the determination to be someone important. And he actually likes playing Center, unlike TD... Which makes TD soft to me. When TD jumps ship to Orlandough, where do you think he's going to play? Center... Or does he think they'll put Steven Hunter or Bo Outlaw in the middle?
Double Doubles in college are hard to come by, and the blocks and a steal are huge, no assists might be a little bit of an issue, but imagine all the shots he altered and slashers who changed their mind from entering the lane because that's his spot.
If he had declared for the draft last year, he would have been a lotto pick, without question, probably taken by the Cavs instead of Diop or by the Pistons instead of Rodney White, or at LEAST by the Rockets or Sonics... Somebody would have taken this guy...
