Would love to get Bundalo. Extremely versatile guy for his size, moves so well, sees the court, runs it, has touch around the rim. Looks like a T50 player to me, at least.

the empire never ended

When was the last time we had a 6'9" type with that all around skill set?  I cannot remember  EJ was smaller and undersized for the PF and he had to work to get his trey game and a few other things  up to snuff... I hope we have a center type available so he can play the PF position but in college he may be able to flourish at the 5 with his tools ...

Will probably hit another growth spurt before his college playing days start.

Looks like a modern day Toni Kukoc (for those who remember) to me. Love to see him as a Buckeye.

I play, coach stays. He goes, I go.

 A left-hander? Good passer too. I like what I see. White guys still play basketball? just kidding.

Reads as if he has all the physical tools, and love the nickname potential (can I offer LA LO?).

Did you check over your post before hitting save? Opinions only matter with clear titles and full details.

Reloaded my signature at a good clip, while consulting a magazine. Go Buckeyes.

Wow he has a pretty shot. Would have to imagine hes going to grow a bit more to. Wouldnt be shocked if hes a top 25 recruit soon.

His shot begins pretty low — at least on treys.  I'd like to see that start higher because some D1 defenders can block low shots.

He might improve that as he gains more experience.

Noticed that too. Regardless at his age with his size and skill this kid is a MUST GET. Very high ceiling here. Type of player we’ve been missing for some time.

Seems like a lot of HS kids have that shot from the hip, I think it comes from shooting threes when they aren't strong enough, and that's all many kids want to do.  But this kid really seems to have a complete game.  That's one of the good things about AAU is kids getting seen where they may not have got seen in HS, plus getting exposed to different coaching and playing with more talent around them. 

All of these offers means he is going to get a lot of attention in the HS season, big crowds, every team trying to stop him, reporters wanting interviews...   I hope he keeps improving and has a great HS career, and a better one with the Buckeyes.

A rising sophomore - wonder if he is even done growing? He looked pretty good for a 6'9 kid and looked like he uses both hands very well. Agree with ibuck above - his jumper starts out pretty low. Hope he continues to refine his game and signs with the Bucks.

As a lefty I would say yes.

Looks like a son of Toni Kukoc or Nikola Jokic.

Sounds like an intriguing prospect...hope Holtmann doesn't screw this up as it sounds like he wants to be here

Any word on how well Jake Diebler has been working on getting this kid...being that he's a Ohio kid, there is no excuse to let him go to some blue blood outside of Ohio.
