On the whole, nowadays, I find it very difficult to enjoy the NFL and the NBA, however, from a style of play standpoint. Both leagues have "sold out" for offense. No hard defense can be played in either situation, as they have fine tuned the rules in both leagues for an offensive explosion.
Everything, the slightest touch nowadays, is a foul. Similarly in the NFL, penalties are called for hits now, that 20 years ago would not have been an issue. The rules have been entirely skewed to the offensive side of the football.
My ranting aside, and back to the original point, I think he will be the next big player, we haven't had a prospect hyped like this, for basketball, in a long time, and I'm interested to see where he goes.

Completely agree on all fronts. If he played 30 years ago, guys like Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason would put him in the hospital.
This said, he looks like he will be fun to watch in today's NBA.
