Strengths: The next big prospect out of Germany after Dirk Nowitzki Excellent fundamentals Very good shooting mechanics Has a nice frame, with big, strong shoulders Can put on a lot of weight Very versatile Can play any of the 2-5 positions Exceptional at running the floor An explosive leaper with quickness and athleticism Hits the three consistently when left open An athletic shotblocker with good timing Finishes well around the basket Has a nice repertoire of moves in the paint. Posesses good vision and passing skills.

Weaknesses: Needs to improve on his help defense as he picks up too many senseless fouls when helping out teammates Should become more selfish and demand the ball more Inexperienced, has not played a high level of competition yet, but has been dominant at the younger levels Still very young, but will need to get a lot stronger, so maintaining his agility while adding strength will be important.

Notes: Had the chance to meet his idol Dirk Nowitzki and got a pair of shoes Has offers from teams in South Europe transfered to Bamberg prior to the 2006/07 season, and will likely play for Bambergs farm team Breitengüßbach.
