What are some realistic expectations for the young man? Should we be concerned about his lack of scoring / missing practice over the summer? I am not as plugged in as I once was.

Scoring? 1 rebound in 10 minutes is a bigger concern. Biggest dude on the court.

I’m not aware of him missing any practice over the summer. He played in both fake games. Unless I’m forgetting something, the only practice time he missed was when he was out for two or three days last week.

The fact he is the 2nd post is a concern. I have no doubt he has the talent but can he rise to the occasion as a freshman? I’m not sure.

PM really took a gamble that he would be ready year one.

i don't think he gambled on that point. i think he tried to get a better player in the portal and struck out for whatever reason.

I voiced my concerns about him back when we signed him.

I'm not downplaying his long-term ceiling.

But right now? He's a kid that isn't overly athletic that doesn't have much of any offensive game other than put-backs and dunks.

Nobody wanted to admit it at the time, but his "highlight-reel" really wasn't all that impressive.

We don't need him to score. Our entire roster is guys that can (or should be able to) score.

He just needs to be able to screen, roll, score around the rim a little bit, but more importantly, defend and rebound.
