In the game I saw, other than the center who was maybe 6'4", the rest of the other team were the size of most point guards... all fairly quick. When he drove to the hoop, it was as if he was driving against at least 2 point guards all the time.

They did manage to get a couple away from him, but he did well for the most part. Most of the time he would dump it off when they doubled on him, but I could sense his frustration of not being able to play his normal game and he drove a couple times when maybe he should have dumped it off. When he plays against taller players (and isn't double and triple teamed by point guards ), I don't think he'll have this problem.

He definitely has some development left to do, but I think the ability is there for sure.

Not sure of his line. Had a bunch of boards. He didn't have as many points as you would think for somebody who dominates the other team as much as he did... he may have had 0 but not sure.

However, this is mostly because they really didn't take advantage of his height advantage. The times they got it to him down low they didn't have an answer for it. Honestly, they could have done it almost at will... not sure why they didn't.
