Brandon Bass isn’t something you shoot for. It’s not physical with Damion, it’s mental/skill set, as far as the NBA is concerned. If he was just a little taller, I think Andre Kirilenko would be the guy I’d tell him to try and emulate.

could he bulk up to the size of a brandon bass?

I just don’t see him having the skill level to play SF or SG…

“How does he compare to Josh Howard?”

Not well. At all.

He will play in the league, but it’s probably going to be in a Renaldo Balkman/Malik Rose/Eduardo Najera type role.

“In other words, James won’t have to worry about playing in NBA scrimmages that would reveal his lack of a true position, low basketball IQ, and inability to handle the ball and get his own shot against true small forwards and shooting guards”

How does he compare to Josh Howard?

Vasherized hit it. Hard to make it in the bigs when you can’t consistently dribble. I absolutely love James and hope he gets paid, I’d just never draft him…

Character and work ethic.

Irrespective of the draft, long-term I like James’ chances to make it in the league.
