Actually I did see him play a few times this year and your right about him
being athletic and he does have soft hands for such a big guy. My concern
is how he would hold up under a grueling NBA schedule given the condition
he's in. Makes me wonder where his priorites are given he's playing
overweight at the college level. Maybe Pitino might be able to whip him
into shape but I'd be concerned he would kill him in the process.
