Weaknesses: For all his versatility, much of it is lost on the next level due to his inability to play sf, and his lack of a real post game ... Has excellent ball handling ability, but his lack of foot speed maeans he is stuck solely at the pf position ... Does not own a great feel for playing post offense, no real post moves ... May struggle with mobility should he add more weight, so playing weight could be a dilemna ... Gets easily frustrated with teammates and opponents when things aren't going his way ... Defensively he has a habit of being overaggressive if he has to guard a physical post player ... Rebounding is improved but needs to work on boxing out better as he relies to much on his athleticism ... May need to work on his leg strength as he doesn't deny post position very well ... Still prone to playing inconsistent, something that plagued him last year ... Has struggled this year to be a leader as his emotions can get the best of him ... Not a big fan of physical contact, will often spend too much time complaining to the referees about contact instead of staying focused on the game ... Possesses perimeter shooting ability but lacks consistency to convert with regularity ... Truly excels facing the basket as his back to the basket moves are improved but are still unrefined ...
Weaknesses: Has good footwork but isn't quick enough to play anywhere but the post at the next level ... His foot speed and athleticism wont stand out on the next level ... Though he has incredible instincts and feel for the game having played as a guard early in his high school career, some of those attributes are lost because he lacks the quickness and foot speed to get by players off the dribble on the next level ... Though he does have his moments blocking shots and making stops, he isn't known as a defensive presence ... Also must become more disciplined defensively as he can be foul prone ...
