Sykes-mania

It's apparently becoming Josh Sykes' world and we should be thankful as temporary residents:

Ronnie Flores: "Pac-12 schools getting heavily involved with 6-8 soph Joshua Sykes (Fresno City College/Golden Valley/Merced). Rapidly improving athlete."

Rick Isaacs: "Sources tell me AZ is at top of heap for stunning 4 man Josh Sykes from Fresno City JC!! Don't ever I underestimate the guile of a gladiator."

Matthew Kovach: "got a close look at him over the weekend..boy once the screws get tightened up on the skill set..."

Gerry Freitas: "So Cal Fall Juco Jamboree. 6'9 Josh Skyes of Fresno City top prospect in the event. Long & athletic, skills coming along nicely! Legit hi major."

This is a prime example of why basing any sort of judgment on numbers is a fool's errand -- Sykes averaged 4.5 points per game as a freshman last season on 53% and 56% shooting, alongside 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots.
