Good pull up shooter Can fade away, hook, and use polished footwork All the while, he still operates a big first. Shows the capacity to hold his own on the switch. Good rim protector with 7’2 wingspan.

Areas to Improve: Has to get stronger as rebounder and use his leverage inside. Motor can go cold at times. Has dealt with injuries in high school career. Still wearing a brace. Interesting to see how it affects his mobility in the long run.
