He’s 7 foot 4 inches, 285 pounds. He’s Canadian.
And 28 months ago he was a baseball player. He’d never stepped on a basketball court. He didn’t really want to, but his friend’s dad was coaching the team and he did it ‘mainly as a favor.’
He’s now playing division 1 basketball, at Big Man U, looking to be the next dominant monster in the paint for Coach Painter’s Boilermakers.
Some things seem very obvious in this profile. He’s played less than 3 years of basketball. He’s a project.
He’s a giant even in a game built on size.
