40, trying to understand what you are saying here. Jared wears a size 18 shoe so I think by the time he graduates he probably will be 6'10" or possibly even a little taller. From reading the article in the Dispatch, it sounds like he is a very well-rounded player now and is dominating offensively as a sophomore in high school. Do you think he needs to get taller in order to dominate defensively or to be able to get his shots off? Just curious.
I realize that you know more about basketball then a sports writer from the Dispatch with no disrespect to that rag
What I am saying is much like what we saw with Terrance Dials when he went up against someone like Roy Hibbert, or what you see with Hansbrough when he goes up against some bigger guys...If the guys they are going up against can match their stregth it is difficult for them to have an impact...
Jared is a well rounded player, and he has very solid moves on the block, and a soft touch, out to about 15-18 feet...
I guess what I wasnt extemely impressed with is his body type, and let me clarify and put at the moment, but if he does grow to be 6'10'-11' or so with his skills and size he will be very dominant and tough to stop...
Also from what I saw he is not a feared type defender from the weak side to come over and put the ball into the 3rd row of the stands like we see from Oden, Mullens, Hunter, Wallace, etc...Just solid in playing post defense and getting his hands up to try and alter shots...
Also let me say that Hobbs even tho he has size is no match for 6'6'' big guys, as he is just a weak big body with lots of size...Reminds me of a high school shawn Bradley or George Murasean (Sp)
Keep in mind that he has a lot of time to grow into the potential that is there, but like I said he just doesnt have that wow factor that I kinda expected with his rankings...
