NBA Comparison: Lonny Baxter/Carlos Boozer
Strengths: Has tremendous strength at the power forward position … Possesses sound post moves and excellent touch around the basket … A beast who loves contact inside the paint … Physically dominant forward who uses his size and girth to overpower opponents … Fights for position and understands how to box out and use his lower body strength to get rebounds … Has solid athletic ability and a nose for scoring … Possesses excellent hands and good touch within 10 feet of the basket … A solid passer, with good vision who plays unselfishly … Has a huge wingspan giving him extra length and making him a solid shot blocker at the college level ...
Weaknesses: Has a huge base with incredibly thick and strong legs, however his strength and thickness also limits his quickness … Undersized at the power forward position at 6-7 and a half, lacks great length and struggles to get shots over longer defenders … Lacks great foot speed, which limits his offensive ability, defensively and rebounding the ball out of position as well as in transition … Should work to increase his free throw percentage considering how often he gets to the line, but has shown improvement … Should look to improve upon his mid range jump shot, which shows potential … Lacks the explosiveness and size to be a real factor as a shot blocker …
Notes: Unfounded hype had him considering a jump straight to the league out of high school … Came in as a top 10 national recruit and has struggled some to live up to the expectations …
