get stronger, and just get his D1 legs under him at this new level of competition. From what I've seen, he looks like he will be able to contribute as he learns and grows, but his contributions won't be anywhere near what they will be once he makes the necessary adjustments. He does a lot of things well right now and he will only improve as he ages, gets stronger, and adjusts to the speed and physicality of American college D1 basketball. I think he will quickly adjust to the speed of the game. Getting stronger is going to take a bit more time. And he's doing all of this while being 6'8" and probably growing. Maybe all of this might take longer than 2 years (although a lot can happen and change in 2 years - especially for teenagers) but eventually I think he is going to be something. If he does end up at UCLA - kudos to Cronin, his staff, and the support mechanism.
