I'm not sure if he will declare in the draft but if we does, Danny better take a flyer on him with late first or 2nd rounders. At first, I was worried that he will be too slow and too thin to compete on the post. But now, I'm starting to get a better opinion on him. His length alone would provide interior presence as a 7'6" center.

He seems to have a knack for offensive rebounds. He's current averaging 15 PPG and 11 RPG playing for UCF.

He scored 31 against Miami

If you have a chance to take anybody who is 7'6" in the 2nd round, you do it no matter what. The fact that he is actually performing will probably ensure he moves up the draft board at least a little bit.

He is a sophmore right? Looks like he has put on a bit if weight compared to his high school tapes (good thing.)

He ultimately just looks like a huge guy who isnt good at basketball. But at his size, he might not need to be.

Oh and we could never use him when a team has a 5 who can shoot.

I think his goal is to get a degree in engineering or something like that. Playing basketball just for the scholarship.

Guys that big have a hard time guarding the pick and roll, but he's still worth a 2nd round flier.  Draft Express had a good video that I can't find now of him against Villanova, he was pretty impressive.  So much bigger than anyone else.  Shooting 84% for the year from the field.

He can change his last name to Truck, then we have a winner.
