He looks like a cross between Marcus Campbell and Manute Bol. And I mean that in the worst way possible.

I've heard he's got a nasty side to him. I don't believe Big Feces or Bol had such a side.

Lets have another good showing for a national audience!

4 -6 minutes, a couple of rebounds, a couple of points and 5 hard fouls.

in the scrimmages? I heard he bloodied some lips during practice with his elbows.

The duece has worn out its welcome.</p>

 

[BlindDawg]

My expectations for this guy couldn't be lower. I hope like hell that I'm wrong, but if we get Marcus Campbell level production out of him this year, I will consider that a resounding success.

 

[windcrysmary]

what have you seen so far to leads you to believe he has nothing?

 

[alabamadog]

and he couldn't even catch passes. He obviously has a lot of ability, but he needs time to improve.

 

[KurtRambis4]

based on the fact that this guy is a complete project type player coming off major surgery

 

[BlindDawg]

The reason I have no confidence in this guy coming in is as rambis said, he's a project who's coming off major knee surgery and has taken a long time to come back from what is now a fairly common surgery (ACL). I also saw him in the preseason scrimmages, and he looked clumsy and uncoordinated (i.e. - a project). I want to see him play more to get more of an idea of what to expect from him career-wise, but as far as this year, like I said, my expectations couldn't be lower. Marcus Campbell level contribution will be a huge surprise to me and a great coaching job by Stans and his staff.

 

[patdog]

He's really never played organized basketball in his life. He's got a ton of potential, but he doesn't even really know how to play the game right now.

 

[captaindawg]

I don't expect much but I do think he will help by giving us another option for Lewis and another body to rest Varnado. As I said earlier 4-6 minutes of play that doesn't hurt us. That would be a big help.

 

[Badon]

I smell a Big Feces V.2 -- but you can't teach 7'2". Well worth the chance Stans took on him. Surely he ends up better than W. Morgan.
