I can give you the low down. Big guy, mediocre at everything. Not terrible, not great. He was the primary big for Memphis the last couple of years. He was the preseason POY in CUSA, but clearly didn't live up to that. He tends to get in foul trouble, doesn't rebound like you'd expect from a guy that big (5 boards/game) and is just ok in the post defensively. Offensively, he's not without some ability to score around the basket, but he doesn't shoot outside of 4 feet and he's an awful FT shooter.
He was voted team captain, yet, surprisingly missed a game or two early in the season with some type of attitude issue. Word was he was thinking of quitting/transferring at that point, but came back. From that point forward, he was first big off the bench (instead of starting) behind Shaq Goodwin, but still played 25 or so minutes a game.
By all accounts he's a good guy. He's bright (graduated in 3 years) and he won't hurt the team that gets him. Just don't expect too much.
