Not a gifted athlete by any means, but we learned from former Georgetown centers that you don't have to be to have a very long, productive NBA career.  Would have been a lottery pick had he come out last season.

Standing at 7-2 and weighing close to 280, he should be a much better defender and shot blocker than what he has shown over college career. Has become much more of an offensive threat since he first began.  Very calm on the court, i.e. Tim Duncan.

Very good free throw shooter makes us believe he has more talent than he has been able to show.   BestProPicks.com last year thought it would be best that he stay in college another year; we're glad he listen to
advice.

Needs to work on running court and becoming a threat sooner on offense.  Lack of speed moving side to side main reason for his poor defense and constant foul trouble.
