N’Faly Dante, a near-seven-foot behemoth center from Wichita, Kansas has long been considered a raw but tremendously gifted recruiting prize, even for Kentucky. Five stars without any real polish to his game. The true hallmark of many gargantuan ballerinas before him. The Willie Cauley-Stein‘s, Moses Brown’s, Wenyen Gabriel’s. Jawdropping athletes who impressed solely because of their bodies and ability to move them–which is far more graceful than you’d expect at their respective sizes. We’ve seen N’Faly Dante before. Size enables domination of the high school level but the adjustment period in college is long-drawn and severe.
