His footwork and agility looks awful... does anyone know his growth history.. did he shoot up recently and still adjusting the the spurt or is he just naturally slow and clumsy in movement?

I don't know anything about the guy but your right....his footwork is awful and he is slow and clumsy looking. He just kinda stands by the hoop and bats everything down. Ha, it looks like he doesn't really even have to jump to dunk. There are to many big fast guys in the NBA for him to be a success just standing by the hoop doing that. I mean Shaq certainly wasn't fast but I mean this guy just looks horrible from those two clips.

He's not horrible actually.. He has serious Knee problems that he's currently recovering from so his stat line is increasing gradually. He's not really news though... I knew about him last year, it was just that he was more of a benchwarmer with the severe knee problems. NBA teams are giving him serious looks because of his size though. I could see
a team taking a waiver on him or maybe taking a risk in the late 2nd round. Also, Asheville has gotten a lot better with him playing more at center.
He doesn't even have to jump to dunk and gives other big men serious trouble with the height advantage he has which makes the players around him jobs easier. If I'm not mistaken he leads the NCAA in blocks..

He looks like a man playing against a bunch of elementary students! He looks very awkward out there. But you never know, he's got a year and a half to get faster and improve!

He's actually pretty solid
