about whether mission are an advantage or not. He has really nice footwork, smooth shooting mechanics, & sees the floor well with some crazy nice passes for a big. Overall good Bball IQ. He'll be just fine.

He didn't seem super athletic in high school, seems more like a skilled big

Good point. He sure doesn't have the spring to his game he had three years ago.
