If you have not already done so, go to post 999 and watch the video of the interview he did with media at the event. What a well spoken young man and he clearly chose Iowa State as the best place for him.

Also, when I was 16 I did not look like I was 18-20 like he does, I am not sure I shaved the whole year I was 16!!

Look forward to watching him play and his physical appearance reminds me more of Royce White than Georges. Appears to be a very bright young man.

He isn't connected though....

What happened to your other post? It was great. Although I think the backcourt Illinois was trying to replicate was the Deron Williams/Dee Brown/Luther Head backcourt.

It still kills me Dee Brown got most of the hype out of that backcourt.

At 6'5 w/ a 7 foot wingspan, his build reminds me of Burton. Obviously not as muscular, but he's still very young and Burton was built like a bulldozer.

I don’t remember a young guard like THT.
Imo his build is that of a slightly smaller (younger) Nader, but his game is different. He’s more a guard than Nader was at this point imo. Perhaps some compare him to Burton as he’s fresh in our minds, but Burton was a superior athlete and not as skilled at 16.

He’s already a very versatile guard with good size, and in that way I think he could eventually be used like late 2014 Kane (once Morris started sharing pg duties). I look forward to seeing what a Prohm can do with him.
