Team: Prentiss HS (Prentiss, Miss.) Position: Forward Year: Senior Size: 6’10”, 265 Stats (per game): 42.6 points / 18 rebounds Notes: Finalist for the 2004 Naismith Award. Named to the 2004 McDonald’s All-America Team. Named First Team All-America by PARADE and USA Today. Named to 2004 USA Men’s Junior National Select Team. Named All-State, All-Conference and Conference MVP all four seasons of high school. Named Mr. Basketball in the state of Mississippi. The Skinny: This solidly-built post player has good size and strength, rebounds at both ends, is a good shot-blocker, and an excellent post scorer. His offensive skills have been solid since his freshman year, but his defense leaves something to be desired and at times he ends up looking like a “numbers” player.
