NBA Comparison:

Strengths: Long, bouncy forward who shows some upside … Has a huge wingspan and aggressively attacks the rim for explosive dunks and put backs … Does a solid job of staying within his comfort zone, as a hustle forward that provides energy on the glass … Shows decent touch on his mid-range shot, but rarely attempts it …

Weaknesses: Must get a defined position … Right now he is a tweener stuck between the 3 and 4 positions … Mainly plays on the block and crashes the glass and nearly all of his shots are within 6-8 feet of the basket … Has the foot speed and quickness to develop into a 3, but it will take playing at that position for him to really gain comfortability there … Ball handling and passing ability must develop … Must become more confident and comfortable in his offensive game … Often times he rushes shots and shows a lack of polish finishing around the rim … Must work on his shooting range …
