Love the superhero music, lol.

He's an 'X' factor. He could be a bust or the best player in this class eventually. I agree with Sutomcat that he's hardly had a chance to show what he can and can't do against good competition. I have no idea what to expect this year. if he'd to be a super hero, let's call him X-Man.

His skill set seems, despite his height, more like that of a forward. I think the shorter, stronger Maliq Brown may turn out to be the center in this group.

Clips like this are literally worthless.
I guess that because of his knee injury, we don't have any game footage from this past season.
Patellar tendon tear. I wonder if he had surgery?

It wasn't a tear. It was a partial tear.

He opted to have PRP to treat it. The other option was to just let it heal naturally. I know a few baseball players who have used PRP to treat slow to heal injuries and it has worked really well.

He was at 205 in January. Hopes to be at 220 by the summer.

There’s clips in this thread from the previous year. Some practice, some practice scrimmages, some game footage. I know he loves to dunk but I’ve seen other skills in those other clips. Dribbling the length of the court, passing, jumpers right handed and even one left handed jumper. Turn around jumpers from 15 feet. Reverse dunks and other creative dunks. I like him, a lot.

Yeah, the kid has some serious hoops skills (albeit vs. air) for his height.

I mean, when Rony was a Frosh, he could literally only do 3 things:
run like a gazelle.
2-hand gorilla dunk.
foul like a madman.

Skills-wise, Carey is lightyears ahead of Rony.

Physically, Rony was lightyears ahead of Carey -
dude was already pretty solid as a young'un, and only got bigger and much more skilled as he got older.

It is still pretty amazing to me, that in the Era of the Great Center - Rony more than held his own for a decade in the NBA.
And was an absolute stud his last 2 years in Orange.

Everything I described wasn’t against air.

Carey is highly skilled. I don't think this is even debatable. Stated before, but this kid has the highest ceiling of all the incoming recruits IMO. Now that we have Mintz, that might not be as clear cut. But, I like Carey... a lot. His has lost a lot of time over the last 2 seasons and that is never a good thing, especially for a big. And, as many have said, he obviously needs to get stronger and adjust to this level of play.

Every time I watch a clip of Carey, whether it's against air or not, I always think "man this kid is really, really good."

Without anointing him yet to the Basketball HOF, he seems to have some skill sets that many 7 footers don't possess, especially at his young age. He reminds me of other big guys that had late growth spurts and had some guard skills or like one of these guys from overseas that played a lot of soccer as a kid. Let's hope he stays healthy and grows stronger and develops into a fine player for the University of Syracuse.

I just can't wrap my hard around the notion that Rony was "light years ahead of Carey" physically. We all remember Rony as a beast who battled David Robinson and Patrick Ewing, but when he came in he was more like Bambi. Here's what Rony looked like in HS:

Lightyears ahead of Carey? Not to my eye.

Yeah, and here I thought that I had stopped just short of "anointing him to Basketball HOF."

No, that was directed towards my comment, lest anything think that I was comparing him to any NBA superstar

Carey's the lowest ranked of the 6 recruits, but I'm wildly excited for him. I think he can turn into a unicorn. He'll probably play center, but if he can develop a shot (which I think he can based on his athleticism and soft touch/finesse), he could play the 4. It'd be way easier to get minutes as an underclassman if he can shoot and doesn't have to guard the opposing center. Imagine if Jesse plays out his eligibility for two years and Carey puts on weight and learns to shoot and we can play twin tower basketball Carey's sophomore year with Carey at the 4 and Jesse at the 5. Hopefully Carey sticks with us if he doesn't play much for a while, and hopefully he stays healthy. He'll be one of our most important pieces in a couple years.

I can hear JB saying "You've got remember - he didn't play much basketball before he got here."
 
Ideally he can redshirt next year because he'll probably need time to get up to game speed.
