You a Philly fan? I'm sure we'll be trading him to you for Dorrell Wright in the next calendar year.

He obviously has incredible length and great hands, possibly already our teams best rebounder...averaging 15 rpg in these last 5 games where he has actually gotten minutes.

He will always have trouble defending big dominant center types, but for the moment there are not many of those in the league. He has shown he has more then a knack for blocking shots already, and I could see him developing into a really good help defender. But he really needs to put on a lot of weight and be able to stand his ground. He also really needs to improve his picks, because they are god awful. He usually doesn't make contact with the guy.

Has a great left hand, and what looks to be an elite skill in his lefty hook close to the rim. Extremely consistent with it at this point. Really bad right hand though. He's a poor ft shooter at the moment but I could see him getting to 70% as soon as the 2015 season. He just needs to make some tweeks to his approach, the shot is there at times. Don't see him really ever being able to develop a mid range game though.

I've been a big fan since summer league, I really like his game. I'm confident he'll develop into a fine player. A lot of it depends on if he can put enough muscle though, I'm also not sure if he will develop into a 4 or 5.
