First off, I'm happy the TT drama is over.  Before the commitment I purposely didn't watch his videos...but once he became a part of the Orange family  I started looking at his H.S. tapes and came away very impressed.   #1:  Great body to bang low and seems to have a knack for where the ball will be...like Roberson.  He could be a very solid rebounder in time.  #2:  He is skilled with both hands.  At first glance I thought he was a lefty because many times around the rim he would finish with the left hand effortlessly ...it wasn't until I saw him take a foul shot that I saw he was a right handed player.  #3:  He always keeps the ball high in the post.  This is one of the biggest mistakes that H.S. centers/ forwards make.  They bring the ball down to their knees and it gets stolen.  That doesn't happen with TT.  #4.   His free throw shooting stroke.   This kid has great shooting fundamentals at the line which leads me to believe that he can be a very capable guy from 12-15 out.  If he stays more than 2 years he will extend that range to the 3 point line.   Obviously I've only seen him at his best via "highlight videos" but he comes to campus with tools that I haven't seen in a big man for many years.   He just looks like a very well coached kid that is comfortable in his body and his position.
