    i wouldn't be surprised if he won it. he just needs to come up with some creative dunks. with his leaping ability he should definitely contend

    I saw this guy play in the Pac 10, and dude has serious hops...It will be interesting to see if that translates into a dunk exhibition....

    I would suggest you get old oregon ducks footage, when he played with Luke Ridnour & Luke Jackson. That 2001-02 oregon Duck team was extremely entertaining. Fred has crazy hops, he is only like 6-3, but the kid can get up there. I think his hops are going to shock alot of the more casual all-star fans because they never heard of him. He more of an in game dunker, but he might be able to pull off some creative stuff. I think he might be a sleeper.

    What's so weird is that i've never heard of him before and a lot of my friends were talking about him and saying stuff like he's cool and he can dunk, stuff like that.

    Don't be so sure man, he might give a surprise in the dunk contest. Download some of the dunking contest of the NCAA, you will see some of the sick dunks by him.
