In all seriousness, I saw this guy play when I was bored and thought that there was another 7footer we couldve used. To bad he wasn on the LAkers GL team so they gonna hype him up like Reaves and Caruso or something. Surprised he is only 6'10...

Just looking at clips (highlights-I know) and interview, I'd give him some minutes right now - while we're thin anyway. Looks like a heady guy, nice touch down low, athletic - he might be just as good as some vet off the scrap heap for the limited role we have wide open.

He was literally UFs whole team in 2022. He was all SEC for 3 years. Give him a shot. If he sucks, it costs us nothing. I watched a lot and I think he can give you solid 3rd string minutes.

Weird for some to bring up the cup of coffee he had at Michigan when he was doing all his work in Gainesville.

I see that he played HS ball at Father Lopez in Daytona Beach...that's a nice program. They used to kick my son's team's (Lake Mary Prep) ass. Different time frame by a few years, but they had some good big players.

Based on an interview, he may have a bit of Moe's attitude too :evil:

Can't say I've seen him play, but why not?

So, you can watch many (most?) Osceola Magic games if you have ESPN+.
The next game is tomorrow, the 18th at 8PM EST vs. the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
It's one of the few games on something called "TUBI", which I don't have.

But Tubi seems to be freeeee, so I'll have to get that set up on my TV.

I dont think anyone here is invalidating the fact he can play ball.

He played in 44 games for Michigan in two seasons.

Weird to think its a total coincidence and isn't a trend at this point but OK.

It's becoming apparent that someone in the Devos family is a Michigan fan. Jett last season was a huge stretch.

The DeVos family are from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Most live there still.

He can hold down some third string minutes until we reach for Danny Wolf in the draft this summer.

Wonder if he's related to Joe Wolf?
