IF JJ fills out a little bit he could be a huge asset for this team going forward

He's much stronger than he looks. I doubt he'll ever be very big but he is pretty strong considering how skinny he looks.

His Purdue coach said he benches I believe 330 which isn't amazing but it's impressive considering his current appearance.

Wiry strong aye he did well at the big draft camp too.  I think he did 15 at 185 lbs. and that was good enough for 9th in this year's draft.

Yes JJ

Does look like he is fine with physical play.  If the will is there then that is all you need.  Weights and bulk will follow

That video gets pretty emotional near the end man! Awesome stuff.

Looking forward to seeing both of them play. Let's hope JJ turns out to be the next KG, and I guess in the best possible circumstances E'Twaun might be somewhat like ... Marbury, without the head-case?

What's most impressive is that he benched 185 lbs 15 times with a 7'2" wingspan.
