The Good:
-Super Athletic for his size.
-Very quick second jump
-Good Rim protector even as a freshman will be able to protect the rim
-Good footwork and motor on defense.
-Soft hands
The Bad:
-Lacks the ability to do much more than dunks and put backs right now. (Said you can tell he never played until high school but is very talented)
-Needs to get a little stronger with the basketball
-Needs to be a more consistent rebounder
-Very Raw
That is just his take. He thought Jordan has a chance to be a really good player. He is definitely a project on the offensive side of the ball, but can more than hold his own on defense. He thought he was a great fit for Archie's system, especially if he is given a few years to develop.

The key is his hands and the fact that he can move. Bill Walton mentioned that the first thing he looks for,in a big man is his hands. This kid has a ton of upside.
