Some nice highlights posted here. Kid has so much potential.

Love to see Donovan get up and dunk consistently. We've been missing that for a while now.
Did they have a no dunking rule? We've been clamoring for Adama to dunk the ball in close instead of taking 2 foot jump shots and hooks. If that flick showed us anything, it was that Donovan has the same mindset.
Has to beAre these highlights from the NBPA Top 100 camp? The one that happened last summer?
I’m pretty sure it is because i’ve seen some of those clips before alreadyAre these highlights from the NBPA Top 100 camp? The one that happened last summer? Always interesting to read what people think they see in these highlight tapes.
Yes, I have no idea why they're just now being posted to YouTube and social media. I understand why people think these are brand new because that seems to be how they're presented but they're from last summer.Are these highlights from the NBPA Top 100 camp?

A lot is made of his Bristol Central munchkin competition, but I'm not sure that that hasn't made him a better player in the long run. Surrounded by gnats he has been forced to keep the ball high and pass out of double and triple teams, and judiciously put the ball on the floor. He was MVP of the Pittsburgh AAU event with probably a third to one half of the top 100 kids playing, and in this NBPA Top 100 Camp the competition included 11 other top players 6'10 or greater, and a bunch of 6'9 support cast double teaming him. With AAU and these camps, I think he has had plenty of exposure playing other high major bigs. He'll likely have plenty of rough spots like most freshman big men, but I'm betting on him. Castle referred to him as the GOAT, and I bet he will have recruiting value to entice top wing players that the foundation is here to chase deep NCAA runs. Griffith and Bowen I hope are positively influenced by Clingan and Karaban here. I haven't given up hope with them vs PC and covet Griffith's shooting. Also don't underestimate the benefit of Donovan just setting picks a la Jake.
Oh so these highlights are almost a year old?Are these highlights from the NBPA Top 100 camp? The one that happened last summer? Always interesting to read what people think they see in these highlight tapes.
Heard a lot of mixed reviews on this kid, but looks like he's got soft hands and solid footwork. He doesn't look like he's lumbering running up and down the court either. I'd say that's a nice foundation for any big man.
I think the toughest transition from HS to college position wise is at Center, especially for those who didn't play at the Prep/Nationally ranked team level. You can see tendencies where he relied on height that wouldn't fly with legit D1 teams. I know it wouldn't typically be put in a highlight video but would definitely like to see more clips showing off court vision/passing/offense more than 5 feet from the rim. But I'll also agree with Nomar's post too...
