looks good.

plays smart team ball, uses his size well. needs time to sharpen his footwork - lots of uncalled traveling in this video.

could be a beast after he gets in the program for a bit - gets stronger, improves his balance

That same traveling might not be called on the college level either. Heck, Michael Jordon never got called and he was guilty of traveling most every time down court.

Looks to have soft hands for a young big man as he made a lot of tough catches in traffic look pretty effortless. He doesn't look like a leaper but he's quick off the floor which is just as if not more important. I'm not sure when we last had a big man who could put the ball on the floor as well. It's hard to tell from highlights if he's really that good a shot but his form looks good, although he might need to increase his release point against college competition.

BTW, it should be '16 in the headline not 16'

I was in the car and just copy and pasted the school's title.
