NBA Comparison: Marc Jackson
Strengths: Bigman with a huge frame and great body strength ... Classic PF who plays back to the basket ... Has some developing post moves and scores well on big, strong opponents ... Already has a developed mid range jumpshot with excellent touch out to 12-15 feet ... Very good at scoring in the low block, great touch ... Finishes well after contact ... Very tough, does not get outmuscled or intimidated ... His soft hands and long arms make him a terrific rebounder ... Has good vision and passing skills ... Very mature player, plays to his strengths, doesn't try to do too much ... Knows how to seal his man and creates a big target posting up ... Great at drawing fouls and converting from the free throw line ... Has good body strength and appears as thought he can add another 15 pounds of muscle ... Ball handling is good for a post ...

Weaknesses: Must become more disciplined defensively, as he's foul prone especially on help defence ... He is most effective in the half court, his leaping ability and body control are much better in the post than on the break ... Best suited to a slower tempo team ... Not much of a shot blocker despite his long arms ... Lacks quick explosiveness ... Doesn't always run the floor hard ... Gets winded easily, needs to work on his physical conditioning ... Tends to get out of control driving to the basket, should work on pulling up for 5-8 foot jumpers ...
