Since we have guys here wanting to go after everyone I figured this would be of interest. Let’s lock him up along with Deshaun Ruffin.

A starting lineup with a 5’9 PG and 7’9 C would be beautiful!

He needs to step down in his career, at least for now. He is seriously deficient in basketball skill level at this time. He is very raw.
He needs to go to a mid-major, if not even lower, but with a team with a big that he can practice against.
He needs to simply go somewhere to get playing time in actual games ... probably at least ten (10) minutes a game, if not more.
It appears he only played sixteen (16) minutes all year, appearing in only eleven (11) games:

Agree with ALL of that.

I hope he goes somewhere that he can get actual minutes, I want to see a 7'9" clunker in action, even if it's D2.

He is the least skilled and slowest moving big man I’ve ever seen.

Kid is getting a free education, something that will be useful later in life since he will not be in the NBA, probably getting NIL money, making contacts for later in life after college. Is there no loyalty left anywhere?

It would not surprise me in a couple years when they announce the new words for that years dictionary, they do not announce the removal of the word "loyalty" since it means nothing these days.

Why would a coach want to even try to build a team like this.
Reminds me when I was painting and my son in law asked about my brushes and when I told him a few of them are several years old, he respond why buy good ones, just get a throw away one.
