    Bruce Pearl think he's the best 4 in the AAC. I think he's the best player in the conference.

    He's a top scorer and rebounder. He's already developed back-to-the-basket moves. He's a good defender. Has mid-range shooting ability. He's a junior, so he's draft-eligible, but he will probably stay another year.

    I expect him to be a Top 15 pick when he enters the draft.

    I sat courtside at UH/Rice a few weeks back. I really only went because I figured it would be the only time I'd be able to afford to sit courtside lol... but I was really, really impressed with him. Talented kid.

    Man I look at this season as what it could have been, if Joe Young stayed and House did not get injured... well you can only look forward.

    Hitting FT too. Looks like a late first/ early second rounder. Often times the best player on the court.

    been watching him for the past three years now. outstanding feel for the game. if he were two inches taller he'd be a top 15 pick easily.

    He has unusually short neck. His shoulders are at the same height as someone 6'10" and he has a long wingspan, though.

    Saw him play vs UConn, absolute beast, went for 24/8 and had game-saving block

    He's always reminded me of a thinner Draymond Green. The last couple years he's been a man amongst boys.

    Wish Danuel House healthy, though he wasn't playing that well even before the knee surgery this year. I thought Thomas, House, & Knowles were going to turn this team into an AAC contender. Just hasn't happened though. Next year maybe.
