As the link notes, also had 8 and 7 vs Nets this preseason at age 16

He will be in the NCAA next season. He seems like a really good prospect.

Spanking the nets when he was only 16 (albeit a preseason game), sign me up. He would make Danny proud.

It will be interesting to see how he handles the college game next season. My guess is that if he is able to do well in Europe, drop 8 and 7 in 15 mins against "nba level competition" which is significantly better than the majority of NCAA players he will face, he will do well in college.

BRB gotta go rev up the Faruk bandwagon machine.

Good size and weight.
