Feel like he's either going to make an immediate impact or he's going to be one of the CF legends that everyone is clamoring to see but can never get minuets.

For the record, I am going with him being in the rotation.

Staff always measure and do heights without shoes. They had him listed at 6’9’ and changed it after he arrived

Highlights make him look like Georges with hops.

 

[HouClone]

His offensive game looks like Cooper Flagg.

Hard to believe. Guess he's still growing?

Eurobasket has him at 206 cm, which, after converting with my slide rule, figures out at 6'8" rounding up.

His offensive game looks like Cooper Flagg.

But physically more like Shaq and court vision like Tyrese Haliburton.

Normal for a 20 year old to still grow some. It'll be obvious when he hits Big 12 play if he's really 6'10" or 6'11" vs 6'8" where there a ton of players.

TJ don't lie about heights

Would people agree with me we don't need this guy to be the most skilled player in history but we really need him to be size and muscle? I mean Jefferson beside him will already be one of the most skilled bigs in college basketball.

Is he a better ball-handler than Jamaal Tinsley?

According to Williams the coaches were very pleased with his physicality after seeing him at his first “practice”. So that bodes well
