''He's every bit 7-foot-9. Playing against him is like
shooting through a tree,'' said Wake Forest
assistant coach Russell Turner, who helped coach
the U.S. Jones Cup team. ``He shot free throws
very well, and he could dunk without leaving his
feet, but he doesn't rebound and he doesn't get up
in the air.''
Despite the fact that he can "dunk without leaving his feet", I don't
think the Celtics need a player who doesn't rebound, and doesn't get up in
the air. He probably could not get close enough to the hoop against a
true NBA center to dunk, anyway.
