May be same age as Egor, but completely different experience and training. I hope his potential will turn into performance during this season, but it is likely to get somewhat worse as the competition gets tougher. Teams in the Big 12 will be bigger, stronger, faster which may require another adjustment period.
His inexperience causes him to get sped up which leaves him taking shots out of rhythm. As the game slows down for him his shooting % will improve and he will better use his athleticism. Same should be true on the defensive end, as the game slows he will be in the right place at the right time and his length and athleticism will allow him to be a really strong defender.
