Height: 7'0"

Weight: 220 lbs.

Position: C/PF

Age: 20

Comparison: Andrea Bargnani/Kevin Durant

 

His game is a lot like Andrea Bargnani's, and his toothpickish arms and legs are reminiscent of Kevin Durant's (when he was a freshman at Texas).

He needs to get a lot stronger and needs to develop every part of his game, but he could become a decent big man.

Houston started 6'6" Chuck Hayes at center this past year.  They need a legitimate replacement for Yao Ming and Motiejunas may be it.
