7'5 355 pounder from canada.
Parents are of Indian descent, meaning he is being touted by some as the successor to Yao.

[Real Men Wear Green]

He needs to lose 80 pounds. He's clearly out of shape and beyond the on-court issues with being slow he'll have injury problems with all of that excess.

[andremiller07]

I assume he would be the first Indian ever to play in any major basketball L?

[Rekindled]

except the fact that he sucks

[Baller1986]

I hope he's as good as Prime Gheorge Muresan.

this guy is terrible. he is the very definition of big and wutless

He's not terrible. I've watched quite a few NMSU games this season and despite carrying at least 50 extra lbs, he's been the most important reason why they qualified for the tourney and had that long streak of wins. He makes the most of his size by clogging up the lane, swatting shots, and altering many more. He's got pretty good hands and can score in the paint and shows a soft touch despite being very raw down there. You've got to remember he's only a freshman and will only continue to get in better shape and improve barring injuries. 10 points/7 rebounds/2.5 blocks while only committing 2 fouls per game hardly turning it over on 62% from the field is very good for a freshman big man even in the WAC. Even being out of shape, he's consistently played 30+ minutes a game the past few months.

I don't think the NBA is out of the question if he keeps up the learning curve he's shown this season.

OT, but there's another Canadian kid on that team named Daniel Mullings who's really impressed me. He has elite athleticism, good scoring instincts, and is a tenacious defender. If he can learn to become more of a playmaker, you'll be hearing a lot about him next year.

He hasn't faced any legitimate bigs with both size and speed. He won't be able to play in the NBA the way he is now. If he drops 50 lbs? I'll believe it when I see it. I very familiar with this kid (from Toronto) and he looks exactly the same as he did 4 years ago. I'm not sure what exactly is supposed to change that will make him lose the weight.

Daniel Mullings I am definitely familiar with. Went to HS in my area in Toronto (Scarborough). To tell you the truth I didn't really expect him to play much, even this year, until his junior year but he's really surprised me. Let's just keep in mind he's a 22 year old sophomore, so he's much older than his peers (at least true soph peers). He's definitely athletic and will definitely have a shot at being a 1st rounder on his that and his defence alone, but you are right, he will have to show his playmaking ability next year

Just pissed he's going to UC Irvine next year, going to kill the Big West.

He needs to lose 100 pounds.

[kaiteng]

About weight, if he can carry his without losing agility i.e. Shaquille O'neal he should be fine in bigger leagues.

[kaiteng]

Also, does he have his equally big brother too? Where is he now?

He can't move anywhere near as well as young Shaq. He has NBA potential but he won't last long at 355lbs. Knees and ankles aren't built to support NBA-level activity at that weight. If he doesn't lose a lot of weight he's going to be done in 3-5 years.

[hawkfan]

Dude needs to go on the Biggest Loser and lose 120 pounds.

What team do you root for in the Big West?

CSUN since I'm from the SFV

[KG215]

He's playing on TNT right now if anyone's interested. They're getting blown out and I just flipped over to this game after the Butler/Bucknell game, so I don't know how he's looked.

Thought I'd note that they also said he played at 415 pounds in high school and he's down to 355 now, so he's apparently actually lost 60 pounds since two years ago. He's a freshman but had to sit out a year after originally committing to Xavier but couldn't qualify immediately so he transferred to NMSU but still had to sit out a year.

[crisoner]

I'm already thinking to slow as well....



Remember Shaq had footwork and was slim in college (For Shaq)

He was quick on the block as well.

He got a lil bro as well......big lil bro. lol

[deja vu]

Welcome to the NBA.

[JohnFreeman]

Just have a Sim and Cousins frontcourt :lol

[9512]

Hopefully he will lose some weight that is the main concern for him for now. Lose weight and work to be more mobile. Skills to be worked on a bit later.

[SupermanOnSteroids]

slooooooow

not gonna make it brah

[deja vu]

slooooooow

What do you mean?

He was just signed by the Kings.

Although I think it was more of a marketing ploy than anything.

[SupermanOnSteroids]

lets see if he actually makes the team

I think the problem with those big ass dudes is they go super hard and try to keep up with everyone. Remember Muresan? He wasn't a great player but any means, but he was slow as ****, didn't really run well up and down the court... but it never seemed like he was pushing himself too hard, either.

If I was a big dude, I'd not hustle out on picks or run back on D super hard. Wouldn't even jump high for rebounds. Would just dominate a space and make shots. Also, Yao is a good example, but he was a high skill player.

If that dude can just chill the **** out and develop skills, he'll be fine. If he tries to run from one side of the paint to another and block every shot, he'll break in two.

Indian Shaq's gonna rape the west. :eek:
