“I’ve been coaching for about 20 years and I can honestly say he’s the best big guy that I’ve ever seen. He gets double-teamed every night and he’s still almost unstoppable. He steps out and shoots the 3, he will take you down into the low block and shoot a jump hook. He alters the game completely on the defensive end with his size and agility.”
