  • demonstrating the potential to develop touch outside the lane"

  • "Agile enough to switch defensively in some pick and roll situations"

Areas to Improve

#47

RANK

Tremendous defender. Looking for blocks, doing well in PNR D, good not great yet on the perimeter. Reported 7''5" wingspan. Texas Tech game showed he could dominate defensively in PNR. PNR finisher. Efficient in the following scenarios PPP - Cut 1.7, Oreb 1.33, Roll man 1.33, Transition 1.67. 75% FT, may be able to open up 3''s down the road, but for now needs to work on his mid range game, he shows some confidence there.
