I've seen this kid play a few times here in Kentucky. He has the potential to be a great defender and rebounder, but early on I'd expect basically put-backs and lobs to constitute his offense. That's not a knock, necessarily. If Howland can polish him he'll be pretty good--can run and jump very well for his size. If I remember correctly, he played with a shorter, fat 5 man in high school who was crazy productive and (at least in the games I saw) the primary offensive post option.
Before Shaka left VCU I thought he'd end up there because he is well suited for "havoc."

Interesting analysis, maybe you didn't see him play enough. He shot 62.2 percent from the field and 52 percent from the 3 point line. He will have an adjustment period for sure especially needing to gain strength. However, I will definitely expect more from him than put-backs and lobs on offense.
