Orangesoulja-

I'm not Francis (not close) but I live in the area and have seen Kapita play about 10 times over the past 2 seasons.

He is a legit 6-9 and is not thin, he has a large frame and is strong and adding muscle.  He scores mostly on dunks and put backs but has some strong post moves as well.  Good athlete with good footwork.   His school has had 5 or 6 high d1 kids over the last 7 years so these coaches know what they are doing too.  Ted has improved year to year and I expect he will improve more.

I saw his final game this year and Ted had 34 and 18 against a 7 footer who is headed to UCLA.  Ted dominated him.

I think the SU player that Ted reminds me most of is Rak Christmas.  He's a 5, not mobile enough to play a 4 in our zone.  He's not huge for a 5, but big enough.

FYI, As I understand it, Ted is from Africa and has not played basketball for more than a few years.  Potentially much more room before he hits his ceiling.

Also FYI, his team has a 6'3" 2 guard who is also a high d1 kid and a junior.  Reminds me of Cooney  (no he's not white), similar game, excellent shooter, but strong to the basket, with enough of a handle to hold his own.  Maybe not as athletic as Cooney.  Name is Julius Johnson, watch for him.
