NBA Comparison: Dwight Howard
Strengths: Exciting bigman with a lot of promise … At 7-feet, his rare athleticism and explosive leaping ability gives him a tremendous amount of potential … He’s got a huge frame and can add a lot of weight and become a dominant interior force on both ends of the floor … His combination of size, length, and explosiveness makes him a quality shot blocker now who can develop into a dominant one with added coaching and discipline … Very solid in the transition game as he gets out and runs the floor very well for a 7 footer … A quality rebounder who shows solid effort but must learn better positioning under the basket …

Weaknesses: Needs to develop his body, strengthening his arms and upper body and toning his legs ... Despite being a bigtime athlete, he’s still extremely raw fundamentally … Right now his offensive game is limited to mostly dunks and follow up shots around the basket … Still needs to add a lot to his game, so it’s unlikely he’ll be ready to contribute much after just one season at Texas A&M … Lacks range. He has decent touch, but lacks any real post moves or great offensive understanding … A year in college will definitely help him to pick up better foot work and post moves ... Will need to develop a mid range shot as well as improve upon his free throw shooting … Added strength will give him confidence and the ability to play more aggressively … He is Shaq and Wilt like at the line. Really must improve as a free throw shooter ...
