Lacks length it seems, doesn't look very long, not a fatty, but pretty thick-y.

Wow he's detonate lyrics skilled. He reminds me of Zach Randolph! Must be the body type. He doesn't look very long but he's deceptive like Zach.

16 and 6'7" wouldn't be surprised if he continues to grow. I think the Kemp comparison is spot on. Kemp was 6'10" and I can see Williamson adding another 3". He does have a bigger lower based than Kemp did and he has the type of body that looks like he can easily put on weight if he's not careful. But if and when he makes it to the NBA hopefully he'll take advantage of the systems in place to keep his body in shape.

Now this is the type of player you tank for.

If I'm the Knicks I'm prepping my tank trucks for his draft year.

He'll be at least 6'8 when he's done growing. Likely 6'9

Bagley is really really good but not sure about best prospect since Lebron.

I'm willing to bet $100 that he won't even go top 5 in his draft class.

He certainly doesn't appear to be that athletic and then boom! I see his floor as a Stromile Swift/ Tyrus Thomas and his upside might actually be Shawn Kemp.

It's really impressive that he can dunk effortlessly with either hand. He's left handed but has some serious power dunks with his right as well.

Wasn't he supposed to be a big prospect?
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

class of 2018

This is by far the best high school mixtape that i've seen.


Fun Fact....He's 30.
