This Florida kid has been balling in FC Barcelona's youth program in Spain, and he's already turning heads as a skilled big man with serious upside. Experts like Jeff Goodman are comparing his passing and shooting to Karl Anthony Towns, saying Duke sees him developing into a star by his second. Year, maybe even starting at the four spot thanks to his length. He's the fifth commit for Duke's Class, which ranks top three nationally, joining other five stars, Darren Ribby Jr., Bryson Howard and Cameron. Williams, plus four star Maxine Meyer. That group's got the potential to dominate right away. Boom J. Boom J comes from Hoob's Royalty. His dad Rubin was a 50th overall pick by the Portland Trail Blazers in 2001 and played three.
