Re: Skinner and Battie

Hi All,

Another guy I'd like to get some feedback on is Keon Clark of UNLV.
I saw him earlier on ESPN2 and I think UNLV was on ESPN's Big Monday
for the midnight game. He's 6'10" and a little thin but a monster 
leaper. I think he's a 1st year Juco transfer (shocking for UNLV)
which would make him a junior. He's a little raw, but the one game 
I did catch, he completely dominated when he was on the floor. 
For a stretch he blocked every opponents shot and had some of the
most spectacular follow-up slams I've seen.
Could be a second round or late first steal this year or next.
Has anyone else seen this guy and if so am I completely out to lunch?
