He has a 9' 2" standing reach, so he has the length for it. But again, his athleticism is really bad. Super slow, poor lateral movement, and no lift.
Not sure I see him as a small ball center, but again my sample size on him is small. One of the strengths I saw on him is his defense. It said smart defender, solid build and long arms. His best spot may be paired with a center who defends the rim to form a super long defense.
He will be a clear 20/20 hindsight guy either way. If he fails, it will be obvious due to his tape this past year. If he succeeds the dominant theme will be how could you pass on a top 5 recruit with his build and it was clear he was in a bad spot in his shortened college run.
