4th best blocker in the draft... and at only 6'5"? High energy defensive player.


In general, he is a very aggressive defender, where he does a good job of staying in front of his man, disrupting shots with his long arms, diving for steals – to the tune of 1.5 per-40 minutes pace adjusted - and loose balls, and exploding for blocks while covering weak side or simply while face guarding his man. Standing just 6'5, he blocks an outstanding 4.2 shots per 40 minutes pace adjusted, the fourth best rate among prospects in our top-100 (http://www.draftexpress.com/stats.php?year=2012/13&league=NCAA&per=per40pace&qual=top100&sort2=DESC&pos=all&stage=all&min=15&conference=All&sort=24).

No mocks have him going but I feel somebody will take him.

Yeah...there is always some team that falls in love with a pogo stick.
