You seem to have decided you dislike the player and refuse to acknowledge his development.  In the beginning of the season his play was very poor, well below mediocre.  Missed close in shots and missed free throws at a Shaq like rate (58.8% on the season).  But somewhere along the way he turned the corner a bit.  He did start to show some nice moves around the basket and hit free throws at a much better rate (made 10 in a row over the last 3 games).  He's still a bit of a bull in a china shop, but there was definite improvement.  Defensively I haven't seen much change.  Still plays D with his hands.  Not sure if it's defensive laziness or lack of foot speed, but that is the most critical area where he needs improvement.
At 6-11 258 (per UConnHuskies.com) I think he could stand to drop a few pounds and increase his foot speed and mobility.  By comparison Durham is listed at 207 and he's a little too light.  Maybe 240-245 is a good weight, but just a guess.
