re: How good is the Lofton kid from La Tech?

No real similarities between he and Barkley outside of strength. Barkley was and incredible transition scorer who could really run the floor, he could also handle the ball and play away from the basket as well. Lofton is an old school power post with good feet and touch around the bucket but if Reid can stay out of foul trouble his length could be a problem for Foster. We also have guys like Eason and Fudge who could make things difficult for Foster with their length and quick hands if we clog things up with extra bodies down low.
