Same here. He needs one more year of college and he'll be a monster. He took to basketball maybe a little too late to get the offensive side down, but I agree with comparisons to 'the worm' on defense. The biggest hole I've seen in Othello's game over the last month was a lack of self-confidence, and I don't know that the NBA or the D-League is going to be the place to fix that. I hope he finds a good coach who is sympathetic to his inexperience and brings him along so he can blossom into a star.
His upside is enormous if he just lands with the right team and is in a favorable situation at the next level.
It was a special two years to see him go from unknown JUCO transfer to fan favorite and dominator of the fabulous rebounding Rebels.
