Showing why he was a McDonald's All American. I really believe he and Bol Bol from Oregon are the best big men in the country. Kid just has uncanny skill to be so big and powerful.

Dude is better than Ben Simmons was here. He could be one of the best we've ever had come through before it's over. Glad he is a Tiger

His touch around the goal is insane

He's going to be a match-up nightmare. Only way to stop him is if he has an off-night himself. Not many big men will be able to play him behind the arc, with his ball skills, and at the basket.

Wish he was a bit more explosive of a jumper, but the size/strength does make up for it a bit.

His touch from 30 feet in is incredible.

He’s even more skilled offensively than I thought he was.

I’d like to see him mix in a little more post up game, but bottom line is that he is a very unique big.

PS- one positive of him playing less inside is he is staying out of foul trouble.

Honestly, we've been rebounding well with him playing behind the arc. Most teams will not have the rebounders that we do outside of one big, so he can draw that guy out and Williams, Days, and Bigby-Williams can work the glass.

They didn't question him about Naz's recruitment. They just thought Naz was 30-years-old.

I tend to agree. He definitely can play the perimeter well, but I’d like to see him receive the ball closer to the basket a little more often since we have so many skilled perimeter players. I think he’ll ultimately be most consistent and effective for us in that position. He showed he has great post skills last night and could draw a lot of attention in that spot that would open up the court more.

I like how the highlights show him hit like four threes, then later on he pump fakes a three which completely fools the defender and he gets the easy layup.

Zion is obviously a much more explosive athlete than Naz will ever be but Naz is taller and longer and has a more developed skillset. Zion is more of a boom or bust player at the next level in that he could be a generational talent ala LeBron or he could struggle due to his lack of length and lack of a reliable jumpshot and just phase out of the league. Naz in my opinion is the protypical center at the NBA level in this new age of having shooters all over the floor. He has a skillset similar to most of the great big men in the NBA right now (Embiid, Cousins, Jokic, etc) in that he can spread the floor and be dominant down low. I think he need to make sure to maintain his conditioning and stay in the weight room to compete with NBA bigs but I can definitely see him being an all star at the next level.

No way. Ben Simmons was the 1st SEC player EVER to be in the top 10 in ALL 5 statistical categories.

At 3:48 he even uses his left hand. He does have a smoothness about him and if he continues to shoot it from past the NBA 3 point line, the scouts will be lined up outside the PMAC to see this cat. He is awesome looking and I hope he continues to attack and takes open shots.
