[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2835766, member: 12852"] Not sure if you're just trolling, but I disagree about KS. He definitely has a lot to work on, but he's shows substantial improvement as this season has worn on with free throws. He's a really good shot blocker and a defensive presence around the rim that alters shots even if he doesn't block them. He's demonstrated this all season long and even last year. He has enormous upside. Just remember he didn't start playing basketball until a couple years before he came to TCU. He's still drinking from a fire hose compared to the kids he's playing against. He's got an NBA body and he appears to have the work ethic to improve. If he develops a low post game with his back to the basket (he's flashed potential with that hook shot) and a mid-range jumper I think he'd be a complete big man who could play for most anybody in the NBA. Sure, he has other things he can improve upon (every player at this level does), but I think he's demonstrated by now a willingness and ability to do so. I agree with others that the NBA won't spend time on a guy as raw as he is at his age trying to develop him, but if he takes advantage of his next two years of eligibility he could find himself a lot more polished and a lot more attractive to NBA teams.
