This kid has a chance to become a very good NBA player. His defense is what sets him apart from a lot of other centers. He is one of the quickest leapers and is probably top five, if not best, in shot blocking in the nation. He's averaging 12 points and 6 boards, with 1.7 steals and 5.4 blocks before todays game vs. a very good Kansas team where he probably played the best game of his life, 19 points, 15 boards, 3 steals, 7 blocks. Likewise I think because Boston College isn't as high of a profile school as Duke, UNC, etc, he doesn't get the recognition or notice that he deserves. His offensive game has been coming along, compared ot last year, its ten times better, but it still isn't very polished. Even though I hate the site, nbadraft.net calls him the best shot blocker in a long time and has him going 23 next year, which I think between 10 and 20 will be a good barometer of where he can go, barring that he doesn't come out this year.I love watching him play, his defense would be something that a lot of NBA teams would like and could use from a PF/C.
hes f*cking amazinghe shouldn't jump to the draft next year and wait until after he graduates so he can be a high first rounder in the 08 draftimagine a player like him with a full 4 years of college under his belt?he could dunk from the three point line dudeHES A JUNIOR IN COLLEGE and hes putting up these jumpers
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=22199 Look at this guys numbers, he's averaging 6 freaking blocks a game. :worthy:
I think this kid will be a better and more consistent Ben Wallace. He has a better offensive game and has improved his free throw shooting. He had 13 blocks in a game against Duquense....insanity...this kid is a swat machine.
Uh oh, looks like he's been dismissed from the team. That might just drop his stock, unless you're the Knicks GM.
Yeah getting kicked off the team will definitely drop his stock. That's too bad now he will prolly be a middle second rounder.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Multiple sources confirmed that the pair of Eagles, who have each been suspended twice before during their careers for a violation of team rules, were told earlier Wednesday. The team was being informed Wednesday night. The school released word of the dismissals just before 7 p.m. (ET) without a comment from because head coach Al Skinner or athletic director Gene DeFilippo. Boston College said it would not release further information on the matter. Williams was suspended once for marijuana possession, while McLain had been suspended for his involvement in a counterfeiting scam.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2734222 What a moron.
he will definitely be draftedhow can you pass up on his defense?most teams missing defensive presence will let the "bad boy" image slide
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>he will definitely be draftedhow can you pass up on his defense?most teams missing defensive presence will let the "bad boy" image slide</div>Of course he will be drafted. Just not nearly as high as he coulda been.
Well he was a high draft prospect before he got caught with marijuana and was immediately kicked off the Boston College team. This could really hurt him in the draft and it is possible no one will pick him now because of his run in with the law. This is exactly what he didn't want to happen.
