He’s a good offensive player and a good energy guy on the floor. He does gamble at times too much as a passer and at times isn’t great in positioning himself off pick and roll action. He’s a lot like DJ Burns who was a solid college center who had a great run at NC State and had his dominant moments. I think there is a measure of overhyping the kid as some have said. He has to prove he is significantly better to reach that hype and that’s a question mark plus maybe a bit unreasonable to expect. He would be a key piece but not “the piece” of this years team. We need a lot of things to go right in our favor this year in terms of improvement and health for everything to click so the “make the tourney” goals are a fair top end expectation at the moment. We could all be shocked by a better than expected team or disappointed at this juncture. Lady Luck hasn’t treated us very well of recent so…

I’m a fan and like that we have him this year to be clear. I’d take 5th year Jesse over 5th year Eddie but glad we have a legit 5 man with some beef in the middle who is a problem for opponents in the paint.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned I will say is I do love how he seals his man on the glass and how even if he doesn’t get the board he occupies space and a player to allow teammates to attack the glass ( note to Donnie).
