The combination of length, athleticism and skill that he has shown indicates a player with a high ceiling. He was extremely weak as a freshman, if he has the strength to play through contract then he could be a very good player as an junior/senior.

                              he's not Ferguson. - alwaysright MU - 4/17 12:10:19
