NBA Comparison: Jeff Ruland
Strengths: Has a great understanding of the game of basketball, especially post play. Four years under Coach Prosser has molded him into a terrific player
Solid athlete with good quickness and mobility
Added 15 pounds between his junior and senior seasons, giving him the strength to become a dominant interior force
Possess a great motor as he constantly works to get open in the post
Great rebounder who has no problem rebounding out of his position
Understand angles, body positioning and most importantly has a nose for the ball
Plays with a great level of intensity and aggressiveness wants to win and will show his dissatisfaction if his team is performing badly
Offensively his back to the basket skills are refined and improving with leaps and bounds
Already has a solid up and under move, and turnaround hook that he converts with ease
Unlike many players, Visser is very fast with his movements with great footwork in the post
Because of his willingness to get physical in the post, Visser does a great job of drawing fouls
Owns not only a pair of soft hands but also strong hands trying to pry the ball away from him is a chore
Shows good touch around the post
Very fundamental. Heady and crafty player who plays to his strengths
Late bloomer. Despite having played four years of college, Visser is perceived as a player of a good deal of potential
Weaknesses: Added weight has made him much tougher inside, but limited his speed in the open floor some Needs to work on conditioning and tone his muscle mass Has a bad habit of putting the ball on the floor at times in order to establish an offensive rhythm, however he seems to know when to use the dribble and rarely gets stripped Not a bad passer but fails to recognize double teams quickly Lacks a perimeter shot which is due to an unorthodox release Defensively he hustles, but lacks the explosiveness to be a shot blocking presence Despite getting to the line a great deal, Vissers poor free throw shooting limits his ability to fully capitalize Like everything in his game this year, Visser has improved on staying out of foul trouble but he has had a history of getting too aggressive Doesnt always finish after contact
