Reminds me a lot of Eason. Has pretty good handles for a big man.

In those highlights, I agree. He's not a guy who looks to be incredibly skilled offensively. But he's someone that knows how to use his length to get shots at the rim. That's a lot of what Eason did. He wasn't great at creating open shots. He just made a ton of though shots inside because of great length.

"Length" (wingspan) is what all coaches desire at all levels. Thus far, LSU doesn't have a lot of physicality in their frontcourt with this roster...but they have found a few guys with good length to close open spaces quickly.
