That's what I was thinking. No way any of his competition looked like they could slow him down.
Thanks for posting it though Alex.

looks like he has already been hitting the weights a bit. His size and the explosion of his movements is noticably improved.

Yeah no doubt he's a man amongst boys out there. I still get the feeling though, that if anything, his explosiveness will be evident on the next level.

He reminds me of Dominique Wilkins, maybe an inch taller. He is going to have to be reckoned with in the SEC and the nation. Let it be!

I really like the way he dunks. When he puts on more weight watch out.

For a kid his size, he's just so athletic. He's tall, yes, but a lot of guys that tall don't have great body control and athleticism. A lot have said it on here, but he reminds me so much of Chris Bosh, just more athletic. His upside is just as high, if not higher than Bosh. Exciting times for Gator Nation!

But also that is the way it is supposed to be. He was playing with local kids at his local high school. His parent was there for SR day without having to move or travel a great distance. Interstate travel, ESPN, etc can wait to college.
Sure he might be a tad less prepared for UF next season, but that is the way it normally is.

As long as they come in wanting to be coached and not prima donnas then all is good for me. To me the hardest thing for HS talent is to adjust to the athleticism of college (see Kenny the first two years). If they want to learn - and their game comes to them - then I see nothing but good things for his future.

All indications are Chris wants to be a 1AD so he would be very wise to listen to everything the staff tells him and tap into that ridiculous potential. No reason he can't make enough progress over his freshman year to be a lottery pick with his physical ability. The key will be how quickly he adjusts mentally.

His jumper is sweet and his teammates certainly knew how to feed the ball to him well. Of course, he knew what to do with it when he got the ball as well...

Chris has the potential to be the next KG. It all depends on his work ethic and attitude. If he comes in and brings it on both ends of the floor every night, with the team we will have next year, I could see him being a top 5 pick in the 2014 draft.

Yeah, the jumper adds so much to a guy that size. It's great that he's coming to UF with it, rather than needing to develop it.
