"I've watched a lot of basketball,

timing, knowing when to jump, when

self in the game and protects the paint,
but also stays out of foul trouble. He
knows when to jump, when not to and
does a great job whether he blocks a
shot or just alters it."

playing beyond third and fourth gear
and getting to that fifth and sixth —
and staying there — that will deter-
mine his ceiling. There aren't many
seven-footers with his skill set, after
all, and now that he knows he can take
over games, it's up to him to do it. ❏

games. Jon played pretty well, but you're always looking for
a little extra. After Coach Beilein spoke to him and I spoke to
him … he had just a completely different motor."
