I really hope this kid turns into the next Hakeem Olajuwon. He's still my favorite OAD from KU, which is really a short list, because the other OAD's I don't have much good to say, especially as I check NBA box scores every day.

@wissoxfan83 Yep, saw that pic of him. Beast!!

Im with you. I really also hope JoJo turns into the next Hakeem. He is my favorite OAD and Wigs is my 2nd.
But JoJo looks like he gained major muscle mass. He looks bigger than Dwight Howard! That absolutely has to help him moving forward. I hope that foot of his heals up and stays healed. Then the 76ers will have one generational talent at the 5. and two other pretty darn good ones to back him up and/or shop to other teams.

I believe @jaybate-1.0 put it best. Nerlens and Okafor can't hold JoJo's jock when he has one good foot and an operable one. When JoJo gets both feet back!? Like, Whoa.

Hopefully that added weight won't add to his foot problems!

If he retains his incredible foot work at this weight and strength, he will singlehandedly end Golden States pioneering new way to play the game. He looks insanely powerful in the picture, like he could have dunked on Wilt!

Go, Joel, go!!!!
