NBA Comparison: N/A

Strengths: A combo forward with nice length and good athleticism … He is most likely a SF at the next level, but he shows the ability to post up and score around the basket … Able to use his lanky arms and quick feet, he can get around defenders on the block and get good looks at the basket … He is most effective in the midrange area, where he can catch the ball and attack 1-2 dribbles to the basket … A terrific finisher around the basket, he has a soft touch and knows how to use angles to convert on plays … He doesn’t need the ball in his hands to be effective, instead he is constantly moving looking to get easy baskets …. Very good in transition, he uses his speed and athleticism to get out on the break and finish at the basket … 

Weaknesses: Does not posses the ability to create his own offense off the dribble … His handle is very sloppy and his repertoire is extremely limited … His jumpshot is very shaky and he is not effective at all stepping outside the three point arc … Defenders are able to sag off of him and clog the lanes … He suffered through illness in his 3rd season and has never been able to regain the form that he showed during his 2nd season … Has been very up and down ever since and has struggled to put together a string of good performances …
