Kid can flat out play. I've been comparing him to former Rambler Christian Thomas since the off season (undersized powerfoward graduated two years ago; you may remember him from the Loyola upset over Evansville at the buzzer, he hit the game winning layup) 6'5 but has a WIDE base. He has stellar touch below the rim and great footwork; he has an over under move that i've never seen a player finish so consistently. Norfolk had a huge team so they got a few blocks on him but he looks like a real steal.
Since the season started he's:
-always finished in double figures
-Named newcomer of the week
-Player of the week
-Paradise Jam all tourney team
I think a lot of fans expected him to be solid but he's blown away even my expectations; I'd be very surprised if he didn't end up on the all newcomer team by seasons end.
