Tell me about OF’s big kid?  Is he anything other than a big presence?

He's still very raw, doesn't really have a back to the basket game yet. He does have great feet and very good touch around the basket with a pretty good jump shot. He also might be the best passer on the team. He'll start at high post and does a great job at finding shooters and cutters.

Defensively he's a huge presence, he blocks a ton of shots each game but the number of shots he alters is crazy. Good rebounder and has a great knack of starting the fast break. And of course his ability to dunk is huge in momentum swings during games.

He’s only been playing for 3 years.  Played primarily soccer before that.  Crazy athletic for his size.  His feet and touch around the basket are pretty amazing given his limited exposure to the game.   His vision is really exceptional but I attribute that to soccer - you are used to using your peripheral.   His free throw shooting has improved from around 50 over the summer to mid to high 60s this season.   He’s been working on that as well.

He had 13 (6-6 FGs) & 12 tonight (along with 3 assists, blocks and steals) in 11 minutes of PT.  It’s tough to tell much playing in these types of games.  But I will say that even playing elite bigs around the country, he’s an elite defender.  His knack for blocking shots is pretty special, even if he didn’t have a 7’ wing span.

He will play D1.  Question of how high will depend on his summer.

The Bobcats move to 20-5 on the season with the win, and 3-1 in district play heading into Friday’s game hosting Buna.   Not sure when the last time Orangefield won 20 games but it was before MaxPreps :D 

04-05 season ;-) I think we only lost 8 games that year.
