I'm a bit concerned that he was 7'-1" in HIGH SCHOOL and only averaged 12 points per game, regardless of how overweight he was his senior year. I've seen some highlights and it looks like he has decent coordination and footwork for a big man.
I share your concerns. I've heard comments from him that he wants to be a defensive force and that to be his niche.
But unless he sheds even more of that baby fat I can see teams exploiting him on ball screens. I guess we can zone when he's in there.
But given the fact that some expected more than we got from Odo and the Aussie last year, I'm going to temper my expectations and give him time to develop.

Slow down guys, I saw the kid play a few times last year and he was no where close to ready for the college game. He has some skills, but he needs to get a lot stronger and much more physical.
