found some decent highlights (there isn't much)





looks like we worked him out last year.



undersized 4 at 6'7" 230lbs. 23 yrs old.

he's what you get if you morphed Julius Randle and Brian Cook. lol

He's from my alma mater so I got to watch him quite a bit the past couple years. Definitely a banger and underrated athlete, kinda reminds me of Julius Randle in regards to the former part. He played a Draymondesque role for the Wolfpack...primarily played the 4 but could play the 5 in Nevada's death lineup. He was a decent rebounder, good finisher around the rim, and had a pretty good motor. Pretty limited offensively though; he almost always wanted to put his head down and attack the basket even if defenses were challenging him to shoot. For me personally, nothing really stuck out about his game to convince me that he could play at the next level but I hope to god I'm wrong.

now that I think about it Jordan Bell isn't a bad player comp either, he has a lot of the same limitations in his game (meh decision maker when he puts the ball on the floor, doesn't have a confident mid range game, mental focus can be lacking at times, ect)
