Continue ReadingSt. Patrick’s 2017 power forward Ayo Ajayi moved to Chicago from Canada and the 6’6” rangy four man has some potential. He has a long and lanky body that he will continue to add strength. Runs the floor very well finishing on passes in transition. High points rebounds and is active on the offensive glass. Flashes skill, but it is not all the way there yet as his hands need to continue to get better and ball skills develop. Solid free throw shooter. Defensively is a presence with his length as a shot blocker. Raw, but definitely has upside.
Ajayi talked about his game.
“I think I am more of a perimeter player, but for my high school team I have to play in the post and help my team out with the rebounds. Defensive side I think I do a good job.”
What does he see his role being on his new team?
“I see my role being a helper grabbing boards and being a defensive threat.”
The junior says it is a step up in competition from Canadian hoops.
“It is a bit more competitive than what I am used too, but I like it.”
He has early interest from Penn.
