Strengths: An athletic physical specimen type who's sure to be featured in a number of highlight reels ... A high energy guy that is still developing offensively ... Right now he's most comfortable crashing the glass and following up misses with acrobatic finishes, as well as overpowering players for easy baskets ... Very fast in the open floor ... Gives great effort on the defensive end and hustles for every loose ball ... Excellent work ethic, constantly working on his game ... His ball handling has shown some improvement with the ability to take opponents off the dribble. His athleticism and defensive ability gives him a chance to stick in the league even if his offensive/perimeter skills never completely materialize ... A bigtime shotblocker at 6-7 using his tremendous leaping ability to reject bigger opponents inside the paint ...

Weaknesses: He won't be able to athletically outclass guys on the NCAA level the way he did in Juco Ball. And that is even more true of the jump from NCAA to NBA ball ... Still needs to develop a lot of perimeter skills including his passing and ball handling as well as his outside shot ... Has solid mechanics on his shot but needs to learn to shoot better off the dribble as well as add consistency and range to his shot ... Not a great passer. He's not a turnover waiting to happen, but struggles to make plays for other people ... Must keep improving his "feel" for the game and become less reliant upon his athletic abilities to beat opponents ...

Notes: Considered one of the top 5 juco players in the country last year playing at Dodge CC (Kansas) ... Playing at Charlotte should be a great situation for him as he won't be rushed into the spotlight as quickly as if he were in the SEC (where a number of teams were recruiting him) and he should also find it easier to step into the role team' leader and star player ...
