He's probably not done growing at age 16 or so. Could be to Jo Bo height by '19.

Serious question: can JoBo dunk? Cuz, Locure can.

Locure's issue isn't physically, it's mentally.
Sure Locure has a way higher upside than JBo but he'll probably never have the mental toughness and basketball IQ that JBo came in with as a freshman.

I dunked once and I'm 6' 2 1/2" with little hops so I would wager JoBo could if he had a breakaway situation with nobody on him. I know he can shoot better than TL.

My intentions weren't to knock on Bohannon. That being said, I do not believe that Jo Bo can dunk. Maybe by his junior or senior year, that will be different.

Easy there Al Bundy..
Remember the Jeff Horner left handed dunk against Illinois, I believe it was in '06. Are you talking about something similar to that? If memory serves me correctly Horner was listed at 6'3.SomersHawk

Not so much how tall, but how developed was his body (we know the answer to the question because JBo was still developing his body his senior year). Locure isn't tall, but I think high major colleges are probably worried about if his body is fully developed, because at 5'10 you have to be really really good to play at that level.
From what I've read there was some concerns about Locure's defensive effort, attitude, and shot selection. Those are all things that could improve with maturity.
I think we offer Locure eventually, and I'm intrigued by his handles and quickness, but I have no issues with Fran's approach here.

My point. If you don't have the talent of a Tyler Ulis, you need something else. Does Locure have that? I don't know. I hope so., but I'll let Fran and his team make that decision.
GO HAWKS!!!

IDK, Minny had an awfully good pg that wasn't as tall as Ulis.
Woodbury needed a running head start to do it I think. When standing under the hoop I don't think he could go up with two hands off two feet and do it. He NEVER did that in a game despite a ton of chances. Cook can just turn rise and throw it down of either foot both feet and either hand.
Jordan I can't say for sure if I think he can dunk or not. I don't know if I've ever seen him try maxing out his leaping ability. One thing is for sure. If he can improve his lateral quickness and leaping ability along with strength it'll only help him at both ends of the floor.
