Good kid, classy kid and I love it but if he develops a mean streak on the court, he is a future lottery pick. Top 5 imo.

Agree. He's gotta play a little more aggressively with more ball control and footwork, but if he can harness that, then wow.... :w00t:

Exactly. A Sr in HS and he was pretty damn good in SEC games. He has a pretty shot for a big man too.

He already gets that kick*ss look on his face after power moves in the paint, but then he restrains a smile as he jogs off...

Yes, and e great thing is that he knows he needs to work on that. I saw a training video recently, and these were his main points of focus.

Honestly, I'm expecting Stokes to do big things. It's a tall order, and it will be difficult, but I 100% expect Stokes to go balls-out all year, and be All-SEC. Again, this is what I'm EXPECTING, not hoping. I don't think I've ever had such hi expectations for one player before. PROVE ME RIGHT, STOKES!!! VOLS, B!TCH!!!!!

One thing I'll add, he needs to work on staying out of foul trouble. It really hampered sullinger this year, and stokes had issues with it some this year.

We need him on the floor not the bench, so definitely need to avoid those quick/dumb fouls. I understand a big part of the reasoning for these fouls may have been inexperience, but still needs to improve.
