But if he is a late 2nd or undrafted pick up then he would be a good prospect to try out.
I agree after watching his highlights. It appears he played at multiple high schools too. That is more common than it used to be, but could be a little bit of a red flag. Plus, his cousin (Along with Perry Jones) had the most amazing highlights from high school, so seeing him burn out gives me a little hesitation. And then he only played two games last year at a non power.
He does have good size and looks to have solid skill. I see him handling the ball in his high school highlights. That would not be important for me right now. To stick around he will need to be able defend, rebound, understand defensive/offensive principles, Work hard, and be reliable. He, like a lot of undrafted players, will have a hard and it will be a bumpy road to make it to an NBA roster. He will need time but he will need to put in a lot of time on the court to make his dream a reality.
It certainly feels like he will go undrafted per a lot of the sites I have seen.
