7-foot center who can run and block shots, exactly what the makes him such a hot prospect.  A freak athletically.   Needs some time in the weight room to compete at high NBA level.

At times during the 2007-08 season he has shown flashes of brilliance, but at times he looks a little tentative defensively.

Has a decent jump shot, but lacks the range to make him any sort of threat from beyond 15 feet.  Sometimes looks a little lost in half-court sets.  Needs to improve decision making when the ball in his hands.  Needs more muscle tone, especially in legs.  That added muscle should make him more confident in the lane.

Thrilling big man who runs the floor helping him fly up in our draft board. Will be tested more in conference play. Best game of the season so far came against Detroit when he posted 14 points and 8 rebounds.

Still not taking over offensively, averaging only 9.8 points per game, but that is not why we rank him so highly. It's his energy, defense, and overall basketball player skills.


Currently has the Aggies ranked 11th in the nation.
