    Probably. I guess if he's an early commit he'll be an early signee, too.

      Jabari is a lot more likable thank Frank.

        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            I agree! I hope he does all those things. What's the downside? Duke's games are always on TV. I'm trying to figure out why having an LDS kid from Utah kicking ass at Duke when I've got the game on anyway would be a bad thing.

              That's a good way to explain it. I'm watching every game i can with NBA prospects, Duke has them, Jackson is one, so just like his teammate Tatum, i want them playing well if I'm staying up til midnight to watch.
              I'm like LeBron James.

                I thought you were a BYU fan, not an LDS athletic player fan.

                  Oh brother.

                  Those things are mutually exclusive?

Last year he was a 7'4 freshman who got backup minutes for PG varsity team. http://www.vanquishthefoe.com/byu-ba...-shawn-bradley Fascinating fact from the article: 17% of 7 footers in the world will play in the NBA.

                          I coached against him in an AAU game when he was like 6'9 in 7th grade. I told him every minute he spends shooting a basketball, he's hurting his career because he could be spending that time eating or lifting.

                          Will be interesting to watch this kid's career unfold.
                          Saw this kid in action last night. He's averaging about 19 and 7 through six games for PG. Watching him play is mesmerizing. He can literally dunk without jumping. His wingspan is ridiculous. He holds the ball in one hand like it's a nerf ball. He's obviously skinny, but he's a got a little bit more muscle than you'd expect given that he's a 7'4 15 year old. He got pushed around pretty easily, and he was tired the entire game. He kind of stands hunched over like he has a hump back. I wonder if he has or is going to have health issues. He wasn't as dominating on D and rebounding as it seemed like he should have. But he has tremendous up side. He could run fast enough to hustle out and set perimeter ball screens and then roll for oops. He actually has a nice free throw touch. I will be very curious to watch this kid grow up to see how he develops.

                            Good stuff, jay. They need to get the kid a nutritionist and a personal trainer.
