Had a chance to play against him in a little round robin tourney last summer.....it wasn't anything special and I'm way past my high school/college bball days, but this kid can play. He's very explosive around the basket and is very quick and decisive when it comes to his post moves. He was a little finesse sometimes and our team was fairly small compared to his, me being the tallest at 6'6", so he was able to control the game fairly easily with his teammate who was 6'8".

I'm a little biased since I'm a Parkview alum, but I think with some more training from a coach like Don Green and asst coaches like Jermaine Williams, this guy could be a very decent pickup that provides depth coming off the bench early in his career and then become a starter later on.
