In a transition style/running offense he will be fine..on defense he will
have help against physical centers the others he should be able to handle
1-on-1. The key is athleticism, shot blocking and the jump shot..anything
else would be too much to expect. It's difficult to comment on Szabo's
talent because he played on a team where wins or losses were
inconsequential. Knight on the other hand gave sterling performances in key
games and kept Sean Rooks on bench. Given the right coach he has the
potential to be as good as Rick Smits.
