Scouting Report
Nice shooting stroke, soft touch, high release points on his shot... Has the handle and strength to drive the lane, almost at will, and can finish once he gets there... Quality free throw shooter ... Has a good handle for a big guy, which enables him to rebound and take it coast to coast ...... Defensively he is just average giving solid effort, but lacks the foot speed to be a lock down defender ... Decent shot blocker due to his size, but does not get great lift, and wont be a huge shot blocker on the next level
