I don't see how you can make the statements that you have made without ever having seen the kid play. I think you can take his stay at UAB with a grain of salt. Please remember who coaches there and how successful he was at IU. If Florida did offer the kid, he must have some potential because Billy Donovan just doesn't go around offering kids that are not going to help the program.
The one thing that you have to remember is that he was hand-picked by MJ who might know a little more bit more about basketball talent than any of us. The one thing you cannot teach is 7'0" and 265 lbs. Maybe he will not be a big offensive performer but with the guys that will be on the floor with him he won't need to be. All he has to do is be a defensive presence and grab some rebounds. I would close my pie hole until we actually see him play in game competition in more than a year.
