    I’m not one of those fans that over hypes every prospect we have but man I absolutely love the fact we drafted this dude.

    Likely going to be 6’2 ~200-205 pounds when he’s done growing, shoots right , and plays a strong defensive game while also blocking shots. Throw in the fact that he’s apparently a natural leader and what more could you want? Even if he caps as a #4 guy who can play ~19-20 minutes plus the PK, I think that’s great value for where we got him. Really looking forward to seeing what this dude can become.

    Ben Danford my steezy king

    Got a good feeling about him.

    What’s him signing an ELC now mean, though? I’ve heard about how the start of the contract is delayed until a certain point, and I doubt he plays for a while yet. Is it just a show of good faith or is there an incentive to get it done sooner?
