He probably should have edited out the technical foul he got at the 1:07 mark, and the slapping in everyones face at every mark.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Couldn't be more all about his athleticism ...would be nice to see him do something other than bang out the rim. Love the energy if it can be harnessed.

 

[CTBasketball]

Reminds me of a CJ Leslie type player.

 

[UCONNfan1]

The T wasn't too bad. Hitting the ball after his hoop. Certainly has some good energy. But UMASS, St Joes and PSU? Did this kid just blow up recently? Not an elite list of other schools, but hey, if they like his athleticism maybe they can do something with it. But I'm not sure how his game is different from Facey's. Still, I'm not complaining at all...

 

[WestHartHusk]

But can he....shoot a jump-shot, make a free-throw, dribble, post, make a lay-up, rebound? The fact that all of those things are missing is conspicous. In KO I trust, but I'd like to see more before I think this kid is a husky.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

If Ollie wants him, I want him. But am I the only one unimpressed after watching that?

 

[Kitaman]

Hard to make a career dunking like that in Div 1. Maybe Ollie's staff observed him shooting some jumpers, blocking shots and dribbling beyond what's in the mixtape.

 

[Huskybass]

He's a high flyer, a PTPer Baby...

Like the catch and dunk at 0:35 - real coordination. The T was not bad, tossing a ball out of bounds - nothing unsportsmanlike. Clearly a limited player skills wise but with coordination/athleticism and size a good coach can make something of him.

 

[UConnErik]

Let's suit up Jordan Fuchs.

 

[aboogieee]

I love it! I love it!

Hard to tell from mix tapes. I'd prefer a player to dunk if he has a chance to rather than just laying it in.

I think it was from the times I kept on yelling at the TV during the HT layup clinics ...

YES

 

[Horatio]

He claps his hands like Thabeet and looks like Ron Artest's twin Brother- sign him up.
