Scouting Report
- Blessed with a lot of natural ability
-
Can really get up and down the floor
-
Possesses a good set of hands
-
Does not have good shooting range nor touch, this is partially due to an oversize shooting hand that makes for a difficult time getting rotation on the ball
-
Scores many of his points via garbage baskets and the occasional jump hook
-
Reach and vertical leap allow for frequent tips and opportunities for putbacks
-
Feels his man in the post, can spin to the weak point in the defense for power layups
-
Uses his body to screen his opponent, sealing him off to get clean angles to the goal
-
Strong and quick enough to bully through and around his man for layups on drives turned to the basket
-
Developing enough touch and polish in his footwork to become increasingly proficient on the offensive end
-
Aggressive nature and very quick leaping ability make him a marvelous shotblocker
-
Disciplined in this facet of his game more than ever, keeping him at home defensively
-
Intimidator and tough post defender
-
Underneath the basket, he holds his own and more for rebounds
-
Mobile on the boards, he can get himself out of position going for a block and have enough recovery speed to garner the carom
-
Quick feet allow him to beat competitors to the ball
-
Highly-touted prospect out of the prep ranks, played his ball at perennial powerhouse Booker T. Washington High School
-
A mid-first round NBA draft pick, he needs to establish more of an intermediate game to make the transition to the professional level.
