If it is bball related and MCT says it, it is law for us Aubies 
When you watch TJ Lang move on the court by the end of last year, he looks like a 6'2/6'3 guard. He doesn't look awkward like say Granger. It is rare to see guys control their length at 18 when they are 6'7. Players can do drills to improve ball handling/shooting/etc but body control isn't as easy to improve. Just ask Chubb
In recruiting news, his brother Allen (SP?) Lang is a 6'6 SF at McGill 2017 class. If we miss on some 2017 studs and have an extra spot, I'd imagine he finds his way in

AUBURN, Ala. – Tyler Harris had a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds, Kareem Canty scored 16 points, Cinmeon Bowers had 15 points, six rebounds and four assists while Tahj Shamsid-Deen added 13 points, four assists and three steals in Auburn’s first intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday in Auburn Arena.
The Tigers scrimmage included a pair of 10-minute periods and a pair of five-minute sessions.
“It was sloppy,” said Auburn second-year head coach Bruce Pearl. “I thought that Tahj’s team played really well. I thought Tyler was a factor inside with his rebounding and made a lot of really good plays. I think you see we have some more weapons out there.”
Walk-on Jonathan Walker scored 12 points on 4-of-5 three-pointers and Danjel Purifoy had 10 points on 3-of-5 treys to go along with four rebounds, two assists and two steals. TJ Lang notched seven points on 2-of-5 three-pointers and had a scrimmage-high five steals.
“I think the scrimmage went well,” said Harris. “We executed well. We played a lot of defense. There are a lot of things we can work on when we watch film from the scrimmage. For the most part, I think everybody did their role and did their part and there is a lot to improve on.”
The Tigers shot 49.5 percent from the floor on 47-of-95 field goals, including 38.0 percent from 3-point range on 19-of-50 three-pointers. Auburn had 27 assists and 24 steals.
“The shooting percentages have been really, really high,” said Pearl. “Is it because we are playing against ourselves and our defense is really terrible or is it because we are a really good offensive team. I don’t know yet?”
T.J. Dunans had eight points of 4-of-7 field goals and had a scrimmage-high five assists along with four steals. Walk-on Cole Stockton added nine points, making half of his six 3-point attempts. New Williams chipped in five points and five rebounds while Horace Spencer added four rebounds, two blocks and two steals. Jordon Granger had two points and two rebounds.
Auburn plays its first of two exhibition games against Brevard College on Oct. 30 followed by Indianapolis on Nov. 5. The Tigers open the regular season at home against UAB, who reached the third round of last season’s NCAA Tournament by upsetting No. 3 seed Iowa State, on Nov. 13.
