“We just absolutely loved this young man, we think he has a great upside,” Nets coach Avery Johnson said. “We think potentially if he can put on another 15 more pounds, we have a Dwight Howard with . . . .not only power, but some finesse, a great touch around the basket. So we think he’s explosive -- if you look at his calves and rear end and base, he’s really good. He’s strong down there. We’re going to get him stronger in the upper body, but we’re really excited about this young man.” Source: NJ.com
