Most overhyped player in Moody since Larry Nance Jr. Not bad, but not what they said he was.

We was ok, but no nba future at all. I thought we were going to see some real skill.

Big body with long arms, good blocking out, a few decent moves to the basket but a few others that aren't really there. Soft defensively

I try not to judge a guy on one game. He never really got in a groove. He's obviously a skilled guy. I believe he had four or five blocked shots in the first half.

You could tell the guy is a stud. We were fortunate they didn't hit their shots in the first half so they never really got in a groove.

Smu takes a lot of teams out of their offense. Haven't checked but I'm sure we are pretty high on defense FG %. Teams usually try to beat us by shooting over our defense

Big Al and Nance had a common defender who does not get enough credit on def... great 2 game stretch Yanick.

Yanick and Cannen both have been great but I did not see NBA-level skill out there

Never said I did. However, put him next to MK with passing ability and that is a terror down low

He'll get a chance in the NBA. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a 2nd round pick.

I thought the same thing. Very overhyped, and not even on the floor when their team was making the run at the end of the 2nd half. 24 (I think) was a good player...reminded me of a poor man's Klay Thompson.
