    And with the current coaching staff, we have an excellent chance of turning him into a first rate big man.

    Thanks @JDC

    Don't have time to follow NCAA, but peruse draft express with yours and others recommendations.

    ^^^Love Ike. Built like a tank, runs the floor, physical...really like him even if he's never a guy you play more than 20 minutes a game.

    Another big who needs time, but he stands out physically and really the only one that has that strong base plus long and wide frame that I look for when scouting potential defensive anchors. Shouldn't be a terrible ft shooter either which is nice--% isn't good this year but has promising mechanics/touch.

    He'd be solidly in the mid first for me if he declares and would be more than happy if he fell to one of those later picks.

    Ike reminds me of Rodman. A scrappy go for everything all the time kind of player. Between him, Bam Adebayo and Jordan Bell makes me think we can get a defensive big in this draft. How their game relates to the big league remains to be seen.

    In those highlights, he looks like Whiteside.

    I do like Bell real energy guy. Great timing on his blocks and quick jumper for Rebs. I believe he can play the 4 in the NBA.
