Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 1815013, member: 60"] His size is going to keep him on the radar from the get go, which is part of the battle already. As Jalen Rose says, "if you are seven feet and can walk and chew gum, you can get an NBA contract". That's obviously extreme, but his bar, imo, would be as follows (you basically mention these): Naturally at ease with on the ball defense and rebounding. Shows lateral quickness and a high level of comfort in guarding guys smaller than him. This is more for bigs that are put into action on the pick and roll and have to switch and guard wings or PGs. Can finish on the pick and roll (and set crushing picks). He does that? Yes. He can get drafted. [/QUOTE]
