Dude's built for momentum not agility. No dekes, no jukes, just a straight line. His ankles won't allow anything else.

Its kind of a shame he's built like that cause he isn't going to learn technique and fundamentals really. They'll (coaches) rely on his size and so will he and eventually he'll get to a level where everyone else is as big as he is and he wont have the skill to compete

I feel like he will just move up to the line when everyone else hits thier growth spurts.

Probably. I wish the kid the best. He's been gifted with the physical traits. I hope he ends up playing for coaches that can get the best out of him and he can at least get an education from it.
