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

He had a nice one-handed dunk at the end of the video that was sweet

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

mantis mutu

He's 20 years old and a few months off his mission

He is a very skilled big. The skills will sneak out of his new frame soon

He was always a below the rim stretch guy.

Agree with prior posters. Doesn't look overly athletic. Looks a lot like Davis.

He already finishes at the rim better than Davis does

I like the way he uses the glass.

His outside touch will be a real strength for the team. Think of how Hartsock played

Garner's BIGGEST challenge was injuries. Hopefully Dastrup can keep healthy.
