NBA Comparison: Keon Clark (smaller)
Strengths: Extremely mobile and athletic player
Runs the court like a guard and shows rare lateral quickness for a player his size
Fluent shot blocker capable of dominating the lane
Shows pro timing and great explosive leaping ability to continue this skill on the NBA level
Long arms and mobility allow for him to be a solid help defender
Excellent out of position rebounder
Plays the game with raw aggression and passion
Underrated post passer who has little problems identifying open players
Keeps the ball high and has shown some ability to recognize double teams before they occur
Has worked greatly this past season on his post footwork and developing a decent hook shot in the post
Athletic ability allows him to be an excellent finisher around the basket
Is such an active and aggressive player that it is hard for opposing defenders not to foul him
Understands what his limitations are on the court and doesnt exceed them
High character guy who has shown nothing but class on and off the court
Weaknesses: Lasme will turn 25 in December which makes it hard to gauge how much potential he has left Body type suggests that he may have problems adding more weight to his body Offensively his back to the basket skills are still in need of refinement ... Has problems setting up in the low post as he is often rooted out due to lack of body strength Still learning the nuances of the game which really show up in his court awareness Can play defense a little too aggressive leading to him picking up quick fouls Has some problems finishing after absorbing contact in the lane Free throw shooting remains an issue for him Must continue to improve on various fundamentals such as boxing out better on rebounds Height will deter some interest as he is at the minimum size that the NBA looks for in power forward Has shown little ability to create off the dribble which likely rules out playing small forward Needs to continue to expand his perimeter shooting as he shows some ability from 8-10 feet
