WSU has been involed with him for a while. I saw a 3 week old tweet saying the Shockers have high interest.

In this video, he certainly plays like a PF and almost nothing like a SF.

I'm going to change the thread title when I get to the desktop.

that's what I thought, also. It kinda feels like this is the guy.

[jocoshock]

Plays with intensity and authority... 6'9" PF that can handle the ball like that..

Sign this kid NOW!!!!!

I like what I see, but what I didn't see was a back to the basket game.

His shooting form didn't look very good at all to me, but yet the shots fell. The one thing that stood out was his body control. It really helps him finish when attacking the rim.

Are we of high interest to the young man?

Did he shoot classic jump or set shots? I didn't notice if he did. I thought that he had a very soft touch and creative moves around the basket allowing him to get off his shot without it being blocked. Rarely around the basket do you see a player shooting a shot facing the rim and shooting a classic jump shot. Usually a jump hook, one handed shots mixed in with fakes, etc.

Whenver he was close to facing the basket on a shot (most of them turnaround jumpers), it just looked like his follow through was off to the side. It's exaggerated in the FT form at the very beginning of the video.

Reminds me of Andre Roberson who we lost to Colorado.

A lefty post looks a little different, but I like how this kid gets it done.
