Scouting Report
Free throw shooting fell off some lately but is solid ... Passing and ball handling are decent but can improve... Tremendous wingspan allows him to play like a 7 footer... Good basketball understanding and decision maker ...... Still learning the nuances, with timing and moving without the ball, and freeing himself for shots... Ball handling while it has improved can get a lot better... He has problems defending stronger guys and playing post up on offense, has to improve his timing on rebounds and his patience on defense.
