It didn't feel like he scored 24 points, but he hit a couple of threes, what I like the most is he dropped a at least two turn around 5' jumpers. The downside is he should have had 40 points if he was aggressive on the block. The stocky 5'-9" Jontae Koonkaew (WIAC) was guarding him most the game.

Chris Halvorsen was the exclamation point on a 13-0 run for Sabes to start the third quarter, exciting the crowd that hung around with a couple of acrobatic dunks. -from the link.

This kid is a freak athlete, but can he shoot? I didn't see him attempt anything away from the rim.
 

Does anyone know if Rodney has added any bulk (added muscle)? He could be the key to a better team next year if he develops.

yea, from the time he was a senior to now I'd estimate hes put on 15-20 lbs mostly muscle, he'll never be huge i wouldn't think, 210-215 might be his max weight without being fat. The kids metabolism must be sky high.
 

I think back to when Quincy Lewis came as a freshman compared to his senior year. That was one skinny kid who filled out pretty well at the end of his career. I really liked watching him play.
 


Two thoughts on Rodney that have nothing to do with this thread. (1) If Rodney was a track guy he'd be an elite high jumper and (2) Guys that go up that high get injuried by being undercut a lot.

Not true. High jumping has a lot more to do with form then an actual vertical leap. You could have huge ups like RW and be a terrible high jumper.
 

The central question:

Is Rodney Williams an athlete, or is he a basketball player?

I get the uncomfortable sense that it's the former.

(I know, I know...the two are not mutually exclusive. But they can be. And that's what I'm afraid of.)
