INTRODUCTION: Born in Sudan, after two years at JuCo level he moved to UTEP but found only a couple of minutes on the court and therefore moved to the Huskies where he is a starting-five player and last season was named to the Southland defensive team Conference. Very physical inside player, able to absorb contact near the rim, he doesn’t have great athleticism but makes up for it with a good ability to take a position. In the offensive phase he does not have a soft touch up close and has a limited shooting range but he can score from mid-range despite having a slow shot which is effective (confirmed by a good 76.7% on free throws). The footwork from the post-up has important margins for improvement also due to not walking or being doubled (2.4 turnovers per match). He reads situations well and is able to find cuts from teammates (2.1 assists this season). Good rim protector (1.1 blocks last year) is an important presence in the paint with his wingspan and in rebound situations where he doesn’t have great timing or elevation but is solid in boxing out. Lateral mobility is limited and can lead him to struggle in 1v1 situations against faster opponents (2.9 fouls per match last season) or when he is called to the perimeter in defensive switches
