PLAYER RANGE: High Level International Player - NBA Top Starter
Updated 02/23/2022
PLAYER COMPARISON: N/A
UNDENIABLE SKILL: Scoring
STRENGTHS: He’s currently a power forward that should develop more perimeter skills as he ages. Loves to shoot the three point shot. Capable of getting to the basket. Highly dependent on guard play around him to be successful. Most successful in the mid post area and dunker spot. Overall energy is high. Bigger and stronger than most of the competition he faces at the high school level. Straight line ball handler. Possesses mid-range capabilities, mostly catch and shoot.
CONCERNS: He has some moves but still growing into his body so moves can sometimes be a little out of control. Limited handle. Does not have a secondary move without turning his back to defender.
