I think it came down to UCLA, Michigan and one other school and he decided to stay home. Didn't really keep track of him until Michigan played UCLA in the '98 tournament. All I saw was this chubby nicca with a big ass knee brace. This nicca proceeded to dunk on the entire Michigan squad and tear up his knee when he landed. I just remembered thinking to myself I've never seen a chubby ass nicca so explosive in my life.No, Derrick Rose was before he messed up his knees.
Dennis Smith Jr. (top 5 pick) is pretty incredible as well.
BD was more athletic than Russ breh's. Most importantly, BD had much more body control and a much be handle. Russ may be a lil faster but BD jumped higher and had much more hang time. BD was something else pre injury
