Khadeem Lattin and his future

[catoosanumber22]

I hope that throughout his career at OU his minutes continue to increase, because I love this guy's energy, passion, athleticism, and length. The things he doesn't do particularly well ( shooting, back to the basket post moves ) can be taught and learned with repetition and dedication. Per 30 minutes, he averages 8 points, 12 boards, and 1 and a half blocks and he is still young and raw. If he can bulk up by maybe 15-20 pounds without losing his agility and quickness and also develop some semblance of a mid-range game he could be an off the bench energy type of big in the League one day. Hustle, block a few shots, and get 4-8 points a night off a combination of simple rimrunning and 15 foot j's off pick and pops. 6'9 230 is far from undersized in today's world of small ball, and actually I like bigs who are a tad smaller but more agile and athletic not just for the sake of creating matchup issues but bc it allows them to rebound outside of their area.

Agree on the added weight part. If he can put on another 10-15, he's can take it to that next level.

Also, I'm not very good with the new math, what's Manyang's Per 30?

 

[TheMont]

Manyang would average 13.9 points and 9 rebs per 30 minutes.

He did not put any weight on after his freshman year. He probably is not going to be able to add much weight

Sure he will. Just give him 15 or 20 years.
