Sounds like he is one of the rare big men with the potential to play all over the floor. I know he shoots 3's and i have seen a video of him gliding in on a beautiful finger role and hes a big man of course who rebounds and blocks shots. Potential is the key word here but maybe like a young rawer version of Lamar Odom....
 
From the 3 games Ive seen, and what I've been told from people who have seen him up close, I think he is in the similar box as our other bigmen. He has the potential to be something special down the line, but if your expecting something special right away, You are setting yourself up to be very disappointed.

Which is good for a player who was playing JV just 3 years ago.
 
These reviews all read similarly to what Phil Nolan's were coming out of high school.

Anyone recall the Bosh comparisons?
 
This idea of him shooting threes based on that set shot he has in his videos is dubious. I would imagine he's not going to be dissimilar from any other raw big that comes in. People expecting Lamar Odom or something are going to be disappointed. I'm hoping he can grab a couple rebounds and clean up a couple misses, and defend the post.

He'll have people clamoring for him to transfer after his first bad game, then he'll have one breakout game and be hyped up as a one-and-done. Basically the usual.
 
I think by his second year he will be a 10 pt 8 board guy. If he can come in and rebound, block shots, and develop a back to the hoop move hell be good the first year
 
Watched him this morning against Brewster and Jalen Adams. He fouled out and had a hard time handling Marcus Derrikson who is going to Georgetown. He started the game off knocking down a three and had a bunch of rebounds. He is going to have to develop some post moves and learn to play D before he can make an impact. Offensively he is further ahead of where Nolan was when he got here and in my opinion has a much bigger upside.
Jalen Adams looked very good he had a decent offensive game and had two really nice blocks, he played all but a few minutes of the game. He is used to playing with elite talent all of the starters were committed to D1 schools. Arizona, Louisville, Georgetown, Virginia and Uconn.

Good one, has post up skills just needs to be stronger with his moves. Can bring the D out as he can shoot it out to the 3 line. Can rebound but will need to learn to box out once he's playing with the men. Think he's a fast learner so he will contribute immediately although how much is up to him.

Okay so here's something on coaching - Jere Quinn had Andre and he was still real raw and not fundamentally sound and it looks the same for Steve according to some. Does he teach anyone anything, seriously?

I don't know Coach Quinn at all but to be fair he's only coached Enoch for 1 season so we don't know the effect he's had on Steve.

Enoch is still very young and was playing JV 2 years ago so he must be improving rapidly to get where he is today. From the little I have seen he has the potential to be a really skilled big man. His biggest challenge will be adjusting to the speed and intensity of the game at the college level. Given time he could become as versatile a big as we've had here in a long time. Maybe Frank Kaminsky type

A big guy with some range is a true pain in the ass for the defense - I don't expect him to shoot threes, but he certainly seems to have the ability to hit a mid-range jump-shot.

He looks a good bit further along than Amida did on offense at the same time and he's got a great frame for adding weight.

I think Jere Quinn has done a nice job with him - this kid was junior varsity a half-hour ago. But, I figure a freshman year of growing pains - he has entire stretches of games where he ambles around like a veal calf.

(I see the passive-aggressive crew still doesn't miss a thread.)
 
People are acting like its crazy that he isn't consistent.

1) He was a late bloomer
2) The passing and spacing for bigs is inconsistent in college, let alone high school

I'm not expecting too much in year one. Facey and Brimah's development is what we should be relying much more heavily on (Lubin as well).
 
Should definitely manage 15-20 at the 4. We do have bodies there now. DHam can handle 10+, with Facey/Nolan/Lubin splitting the rest if need be.

He can't touch our current big if you base it on mixtapes (as we like to do):

Shouldnt Philip Nolan be just a bit better than he is offensively? He should!

I'll take the Hilton Armstrong route. Hilton was not much more than Phil Nolan his first three years and ended up the 14th pick in the draft. Certainly not saying that will happen to Phil but why cant he make improvement similar to HA? Phil ha played below what he is capable of.

The best person I can think of to compare his game to is Chris Webber. Very similar style. In the long run he'll probably be better than Webber though. He can hit the 3 where as Webber was pretty much 18' feet and in.

Agree somewhat but I was thinking more like Olajuwon after gaining some weight. His outside game is much more advanced right now. His footwork is about equal, so imagine in 3 years time with our 'guard coaches' working with him how much better he will be. From the mixtapes I saw he's already better than C Webb at that age.

Hell, Hakeem or C Webb didn't even have mixtapes, which proves Enoch's advancement.
 
From what I've seen... He's worthy of a UConn uni...that's enough for me

Plus he's not a toothpick, the kid has some girth
