Have zero concern.  Some guys get the job done without looking the part.  Khalid and Shabazz played under the rim and succeeded without being amazing athletes.

In the 3 Brewster/New Hampton games which included his mvp championship game, he was matched up against a top 10 SF Terrance Clarke with elite athleticism and Matt Cross a top 100 elite shooter, and those guys came out on the short end 3x.

Against Putnam Science Academy he was marched up against 2 of their 3 seven footers at all times, all top 150ish players, and he held his own individually but the team couldn't match up overall.

He is a tweener, but it doesn't make any difference.  He exploits his strengths and he becomes the other team's problem.  Any shortcomings are the reason we have teammates and coaches.  Clingan/Sanogo for the size,  Akok/Johnson for rim protection.  Jackson to high fly, Hurley to employ schemes to overcome any advantage the other team might have.
