Someone from Utah tell me about this dude

Someone from Utah tell me about this dude

High motor, excellent rebounding kid that is still developing the mid range game he's gonna need. Good body and the kid has the "want to". Could be a taller Millsap.

yeah, if you liked rooting for Millsap coming into the league, then you'll like this guy. (Millsap's progression obviously being an extreme outlier).

Beast. Best athlete in the draft based on the combine testing. 6'9", 7'2" wingspan, 40.5" vert. 15 rebs per 40. 12.6 rebs on the season.

He HAS to improve his shot. I don't like his mechanics on it. Big Sky is a relatively short league, but he did well against non Big Sky schools. Xavier absolutely focused on him in the tournament and rendered him fairly useless against two other bigs his size.

Not a good passer. Hated watching game after game pass down to the post, other team double with the other big and we were unable to get the ball to the now open big on the other side of the paint. Would usually just dribble out and reset. But, he'll board and can play in the league. It's up to him. Has the physical tools.

I actually think his combine numbers are a bit misleading. When I watched him, he didn't stand out to me like watching Lilliard did. He's a Booker role, no doubt.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Can't wait to watch him battle in summer league.

 

[kabenac]

Booker: Who are you?
Bolomboy: I'm a younger, better you.

*they scrap*

 

[Duck Rodgers]

Jeremy Evans with a better frame is how I've always thought of him. I like the pick a lot.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He can make the team, which is more than I can say for Paige/Wallace.

You got me really liking this dude

What's his footwork and body control like? I've been watching videos and he seems to have really nice footwork. Also, I'm not sure why defenders lose him and don't attempt to box him out.
