INTRODUCTION: University career in which he showed good things in Cincinnati where he was a starter, less satisfaction between Northern Kentucky and Wisconsin with whom he played the last season before turning a professional player. The first year in Austria was excellent on a personal level with an average double double even though his team has always occupied the bottom of the table.
PHYSICAL: Important size, he doesn’t have great athleticism but compensates with good readings that allow him to be often in the right position. Basic speed is lacking but the footwork them quite well, which is useful for taking position and the right coordination when undergoing contacts. Limited elevation and lateral mobility.
OFFENSIVE PHASE: Solid screener, capable of making very good picks. He is not very fast in the roll but fairly coordinated if he receives the ball in motion. In the low post he has a jump hook that is difficult to limit given the height from which he releases the ball; he loses a few too many possessions but is able to punish doubles with assists for teammates who cut or wait for an open shot on the perimeter (1.8 assist). Very present on rebounds (2.6 in offensive situations), he guarantees points with his tap-ins or second chances. He doesn’t have a game in front of the basket and the mid-range shot is used very sparingly; he suffers many fouls but is not too reliable from the line (56.3%).
DEFENSIVE PHASE: He occupies the area very well with its body, great defender in static play situations where he is difficult to move. He’s not suitable for making shows or switching on the perimeter, he pays for his poor lateral mobility and risks committing some fouls. Good rim protector (1.5 blocks), present on rebound.
IMPROVED AREAS: Getting a lot of fouls should improve your shooting mechanics for scoring free throws. Expanding the shooting range and developing a game in front of the basket could help him make a further leap in quality; an extremely positive first season as a pro, he could ask for a good salary given the impact he had in Europe.
