As the old adage goes, you can’t teach size.
There’s a reason why Djery Baptiste is on the Vanderbilt Commodores’ roster. He’s not very good right now, but guys who are 6’10” and 240 pounds who are also athletic and coordinated, let’s say, do not grow on trees. But Baptiste was so raw coming in that even after a redshirt year to work with the coaching staff, he still played 7.8 minutes per game and averaged just 1.8 points and 1.9 rebounds while appearing in all 35 of Vanderbilt’s games.
At the same time, though.
