Minott would be considered a late bloomer. In the seventh grade, Minott was focused on studying music in school and could play eight instruments.

Big frame and seems to move well, also has good coordination. But not what you would call a pure athletic guy - not a leaper or blessed with the quicks.

If he goes through the same physical makeover as Frink - adding muscle and losing the baby fat - he is a wide body that can snag rebounds, play D and hit the short jumper. And he is the type of player that Frank loves - a physical guy that will hit the Offensive glass.

Great pick-up that fills an immediate need - the lack of a second true Center after Iriel bailed. Frink can do damage down low, but he is more of a wide body PF.

100% agree.  Minotte is not a project player.  He’s got Frank’s preferred skill set and fills a major need fir us that lets Frink, Benson and McCreary go get theirs in their more natural spots.  This one was a shock to see, but I’d a great get for Frank in the midst of some otherwise depressing circumstances.  Love it!
