I will be interested to see what kind of pro player he is. Right now, he seems pretty limited. JMHO. 😊 Edited January 12 by jv1972iu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThePaulieWalnuts 363 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 (edited) TJD named the 4th best player in college basketball this season to date on ESPN (insider article). Still not on many, if any, draft boards for 2021 or 2022. Edited January 13 by ThePaulieWalnuts 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But he needs to develop / show an outside shot, and more defensively, key at 6'9 for the League. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kenpom has him as 2nd in both the conference and the nation. That formula seems to heavily weigh usage and gets a lot of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine where he'd be with Cody Zeller's motor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not that he doesn't have an outside shot or that he can't make a mid range. Its always that he can't use his right hand or that left shoulder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
