Scouting Report
- Finally developed into the talent that most thought he could be
-
Over his first three years he showed very little improvement, which made it somewhat surprising when he declared for the NBA Draft after a mediocre junior season last year
-
Seeing himself slipping into the second-round, he ended up deciding to withdraw his name from contention and return to school
-
The extra year of play at the college level has paid dividends
-
Playing assertively on the blocks and looking to score with his back to the basket
-
One of his bigger weaknesses has traditionally been his footwork in setting up his shot
-
Has done a good job of smoothing this aspect of his game out
-
Still shuffles his feet too much in his execution but understands how to better get separation off his man by moving laterally
-
Rolls off his man in the post
-
Gets downcourt and docks himself deep in the lane
-
Ball doesn't always look that pretty coming out of his shot
-
Lacks anything resembling range in his jumpshot
-
Has done an exceptional job over his career in the role of a rebounder and shotblocker
-
Great size and strength
-
Extremely physical and harassing opponent
-
Establishes and maintains rebounding position
-
Tough to push off the blocks
-
One of the best pure interior defenders in the country
-
Has a body similar to that of Alonzo Mourning's with his long and narrow but thick frame with broad shoulders
-
Poor passing skills
-
Came to Kentucky as a highly touted prospect out of Toronto
-
Played for the Canadian National Team
-
Look for him to go in the first-round of this year's NBA Draft.
