Sounds like a Ryan Anderson / Channing Frye type guy to me.

He's bigger and already as strong as those guys, and probably more athletic.  I think his upside is likely higher than those guys.

He looks really slow to me.

The next Kelly Olynyk?  Why are people talking about trading Crowder and an 18 pick for him?

He looks like a much better shooter than Olynyk at the very least.

Any thoughts on where he stacks up to 2018 big men?
I rarely quote myself, but I am really interested in this question b/c I am not familiar with the projected 2018 draft class, and somewhere along the line the C's need to a really good big man via draft. Yabusele and Zizic are interesting prospects but not projected all-star talents.

I see this kid thriving in the modern NBA. I would love to grab him to replace KO. It would require us to grab pick 8 from NYK or somewhere in that range.

This kid is a prospect that intrigues me greatly.

Yes. Not as good court awareness... Defensively comparable. Though ko plays with more energy
