Those highlights
A 5 who drives to the basket and throws down thunderous dunks? A'ight, we can get used to that.
Videos!
From the highlight tapes - on the eye test his skill set looks like a taller Tre King more than a BRE or Ward. There were several times where he was the dribble handoff / screener at the top of the key and then took the ball to the rim with 2 dribbles. And several very nice backdoor passes out of the dribble handoff look.
He has a lot of "true" low post finishes, just back his guy down and finishing off the glass. While there were dunks when he was wide open, he seems to prefer layups more often

Just what the doctor ordered, a big with two years left which gives our young bigs that we red shirted this year more time to develop as opposed to throwing them out there next season and learn on the floor.
You didn't describe the scenario where Momcilovic declares for the draft. He probably isn't ready to be an NBA contributor, but that hasn't stopped players who graded out as first round picks in the past.
Why is there always an ******* that wants to rain on one of the best Cyclone weekends ever?
Assuming no other changes means we're full for the next two seasons...
But, of course, there are always other changes.

I'm thinking at least one more spot will open up. Between Pav/Omaha/Fish/Hamilton I'm pretty confident at least one, if not two of them will leave.
If you think about it from a "replacement" persective...
-JT Rock will replace Ward as the "rim protector"
-Dishon will replace Tre as the "athletic big"
-Now we just need Big Rob Energy replacement. A hard working big man who will dive on the ground and fight for everything. Somebody with the blue collar energy that BRE has embodied.
I don't think future adds will be dictated by who leaves more like future adds will dictate who leaves.
I heard he was the backup option if we couldn’t pry Mulva away from Fran.
JT is not replacing Ward as a rim protector. Not this soon at least.
I think JT will need another year or two. That's not a knock on him, he just needs to keep developing physically. All super tall folks take extra time to put on weight. I think it'll be his sophomore season where he starts getting minutes and junior/senior where he comes on strong.
Hopefully he proves me wrong and can put in good minutes next year though!
