I'm guessing from your comment about Rico having to play the 2 or 3 that he's not as tall as advertised. How big did he look in your estimation?

They list him at 6'7" but I'm 6'4 1/2" and when I spoke to him and shook hands with him I was damn near staring him straight in the eye. As far as girth, he is very big and strong. My analysis of him is basically due to his skill level and not his size.
Unless he grows a few inches or refine his shooting and ball handling he'll be an undersized 4 in college like Tasmin Mitchell, but Taz could shoot the ball that's the big difference.

Dude has hops with power dunks, and shotblocking ability, but he doesn't have the quicks of a 2 or 3, imo. In his rivals film, he doesn't show any ball-handling skills. Looks like a center trying to dribble. It's like he's an athletic power forward in a 6-6, 230 body.
Reminds me somewhat of Ohio St Jim Jackson out of high school (circa 1989) in that he lumbered a bit much for a SG but back then I think Jackson had a bit more range than 10 feet and could handle the ball competently.
