At 6'9" 205 lbs, he would still be considered a small forward, sort of like a James Worthy. Still, he sounds like he has some solid potential.

UH, I think this man is going to be liked by everybody. If he can play offense that is a great move. RTR!

It sounds like he can put the ball in the hoop and rebound. We have two years to beef him up to be ready of the SEC. He put up some big numbers for a freshman at any level of play.

Not bad numbers for a freshman. His turnovers are a bit high but as you said, he's got a long time to learn the program and to improve his skills before he has to face the SEC. A little weight wouldn't hurt either. RTR!!

LOL. The difference is he has shown some potential against some pretty fair competition.  The other two goofballs were just ordered from the back of some magazine.
