Great athlete with legit post moves. Great shot blocker and playmakes well for a center.

NBA Comp: Jalen Duren

I really like Sorber on paper and still think he looks like a potential Al Horford (First stint with Celtics Version) type of player with his solid post game, rebounding, length, solid defense and some hints of shooting upside. His production is nice but not spectacular, but he does a bit of everything and the best version of him might be some kind of souped-up role player (again, like Horford), but that's fine.

I was a bit thrown off watching him play however, as he just seems to be a bit stiff in his movements. Not the most fluid athlete. This isn't always a big deal, Jalen Duren and Derek Lively are a bit "robotic" the way they move. Just something I wanted to note. Not super confident he can switch onto wings, unlike say, Mo Faye.

Long, good IQ but with a shoot that still needs a lot of work. He's a bit undersized for the center position (like Newell, Queen and Wolf). I think he can be a good starter in the league but not a great one.

NBA comparaison : Onyeka Okongwu/Wendell Carter jr

(pre 1/2) TBC

Got the wingspan needed to play at the next level for sure.

Good passer for a big, and looks for others when in the post. can have tunnel vision

pretty explosive, good touch, finishing should be consistent

would fit in really well as a DHO hub

skilled for a freshman, uses both hands.

The shot looks real, soft touch and has some pick and pop skills at 3 and mid range

Size is a concern, especially defensively. Big guys sometimes just shoot straight over him. Might need to get stronger too, since big guards can go straight through him.

Has great timing on defense and understands positioning. Good balance and contest vertically. Good instincts.

When defending the perimeter he can struggle with changing direction and keeping his hips the right way.
