He is like Clint Varley, except he is taller, more athletic, a better shooter and ball handler and a bit darker complected.

I read on some thread that Babb had a hard time guarding him.

Watching the highlight clip above, looks like he can shot with contact.

The best I can come up with as a comparison is Tim Hardaway from Michigan. The good one at the end of last year. Not the one this year. Similar size, similar athleticism, both are great shooters and good slashers. Clyburn is a better rebounder though and will give us 3 good rebounders in the starting lineup for sure.

Not like Hardaway really at all. Think 6'7", inside out, fantastic rebounder despite lack of size, good mid-post game, can stroke it from deep, can create off the dribble, but the handle is a little loose. Also scores off of cuts really efficiently. Not a blow you away athlete, but good enough from an NBA perspective.
Edit: And a lot tougher/better rebounder than Wes J.

He looks a lot like Wes just out on the court. Not sure if his game is like that.

I think I saw a practice video with Babb trying to guard him. The key word here is "trying".

Mostly empty stadiums in Utah... think he'll enjoy playing in Hilton!

Thanks for the insight. I'd wager you've seen him play quite a few times.
