    Watching that highlight clip … I don't think he would be able to get his shot off in the NBA , that jumper starts awful low.
    Not very explosive and not NBA strong either.

    Might have been interesting to watch in Adleman's offense out of the high post with his passing ability and mid range shot. 10 years ago he might have been a serviceable big …. but the game has moved on from that type of player.

    Looks like a smooth athlete, especially for his height. Seems a bit more aggressive than Thon, but then again, highlights always make a player look their best.

    Still, he now has his shot to make an NBA roster, and I'll be rooting for the kid.

    well...I don't think we would want him to shoot unless he's wide open, so not having the quickest release is all right....the main thing is, his defense and rebounding need to be good to great to make the team.....His rotational defense,boxing out, and weak side shot blocking are what they'll be looking at. can he guard an NBA guard on the perimeter?

    Did you see any of that at an NBA level ?

    I didn't … What I saw was a athlete playing against inferior competition …. lacking fundamentals.

    I didn't see him box anyone out …. he just relied upon his athleticism to go get it. I also didn't see the footwork or explosiveness to run the pick and roll.

    Just a big guy who's the best athlete on the floor among weak competition (relative to the NBA).

    Two years away from two years away.
