Anyone heard much about this kid? Is he a genuine prospect, or will mobility be his downfall?

He's 7"8, 360lbs, and plays for UNC-Asheville.

This photo's from a while ago, but you get the idea.

He barely has to jump at all to dunk.

Great article from a few days ago. Poor kid, the negatives of being that size far outweigh the positives.

I haven't read the above article at all, but he'll certainly be undrafted and have to count on being in someone's camp.

I've been able to see UNC-Asheville a few times on TV over the past couple years (I'm a college hoops nut) and I watched a game last night against North Carolina just to focus on him and he just can't run the floor in transition at all. But he is a brick wall in the lane when guys are trying to finish drives in the paint.

I think it would be entertaining to see him somehow in the next level as almost a goalkeeper of sorts for a few minutes, but no team would likely be willing to play essentially 4-on-5 on offense even for a few possessions.
