STRENGTHS

  • Very skilled at 6'10 and has the agility and coordination of a guard/wing

  • Can score in multiple ways

  • Advanced ball handler for his size. Uses his handle and shiftiness to create space

  • Comfortable when facing up and can create his own shot

  • Decent rebounder 

  • Soft shooting touch around the rim, uses floaters to avoid shot blockers

WEAKNESSES

  • NBA fit. His skill set matches the modern NBA, but his isolation style of play is questionable

  • Must bulk up and get stronger to play the 4

  • Struggles playing and finishing through contact

  • Seems to have balance issues but could be related to lack of strength

  • Shot selection; takes (and makes) a lot of tough and questionable shots

  • Heavy isolation player

  • Not much of a creator for others

  • Must improve 3 point shooting and range to have an NBA role

  • Jack of all trades and master of none

  • FG% has dropped dramatically from his freshman year with increased role
