anyone know more about this prospect??

Browsed his stats for last season and he looked like he went beast mode , grabbing 20 + rebounds a few games, more than 13 rebounds several times, more than 3 blocks a game several times. Had a 9 block game.

He was mw defensive player of the year.  He is listed as 6'9 with a 7'1 wingspan , has good strength, and elite explosiveness.   Saw a few older clips of him playing and his game reminds of Kenneth Faried (with a better jump shot). 

We don't need another PF but i'm intrigued.

I live in Vegas and saw him play in person about 10 times this year. I feel he plays like Ben Wallace if been Wallace could play on offense.   He is a high energy guy that gobbles up the boards.  I think he may be undersized and a tweener in the nba.  I am not sure if he will be quite big enough in the nba. 
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

if ainge can get a second round pick, why not? a bench player who can play defense is good to have.

birch may even go undrafted, in which case ainge can get him as well.
