    Why would you redshirt a potential top 5 pick in the next year's draft?


    (i couldnt search to see if this was covered before)

    I know he put on a lot of height, and I heard he also grew some but haven't heard any specifics on it.

    i heard 6'0 as a freshman and 6'7 as a senior, so if the kid could get another inch or so, he'd be looking even better

    that is part of why they say he is so skinny for a big man...

    bc as a freshman, he wasn't expected to be a big man

    I don't think his body has quite caught up to his frame yet. He'll be a beast after a couple years in 'da league.'
