NBA Comparison: Chris Kaman
UPDATED: A slow learner who must be drafted with the impression that he will improve over time rather
than contribute immediately, as his attention span and focus are subpar...Makes many simple mistakes which most players would
probably not make on the NBA court. Many of his games are variable, with ups-and-downs on the same game, including simple
mistakes and great flashes at the same time. He can turn the ball over and score well, rebound well and score poorly, etc.,
he has yet to develop into a consistent player. He is certainly willing to learn and is coachable however, and has nice shooting
touch to boot with his already pro-NBA body. All he needs is focus and dedication.

A very rugged center who thrives in doing the dirty work. Can rebound extremely well at times but
that has yet to be consistent. Always gives the impression that he is working hard. Decent shooting stroke for a big man up
to 15-feet. Has some shotblocking ability due to his relentless energy. Decent hooks and quite a mobile player Fatigue can
be an issue, always seems to get winded after 25 minutes or so of rough play, and although he likes contact, sometimes he
gets abused by it on the defensive end. Hasn't put everything together yet as well--in high school, some games he'd just score,
other games he'd rebound and shoot poorly, other games he'd play defense well and do nothing else. He can't put it all together.
Hopefully this will come in his freshman season at St. John's, where he's being coached by arguably one of the better coaches
in the league in Reggie Furdrow.
