Message: [QUOTE="TheRoyalIveyFund, post: 53203, member: 1049"] Not only what Bees said but he is a smart "basketball player". Mookie was a great athlete that became a decent basketball player by his junior year, great presence by his senior year on D, etc. However, DC has basketball skills like Bees said. I knew he was legit D1 his frosh year when early in the season, he had great position on D, pulled down a great board and threw an outlet about 70 feet for an easy score. I remember posting that as a frosh in HS, he was better than our bigs at the time at outlets. The comparison I see is Dejaun Blair and I think he is the perfect SU guy because he doesn't have the stuff NBA guys look for right away (they don't want 6'8" centers with a top 10 pick), but will dominate in college. Though, he is a pro, for sure. JD's coach doesn't say this stuff lightly but he talks about him as an NBA guy frequently. [/QUOTE]
