Not flashy, he’s consistent and rarely puts himself in challenging situations. <br /> <br /> <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/IMG-9203-crop-2057x1351-1631963065.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1285737" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/IMG-9203-crop-2057x1351-1631963065-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><br /> <br /> <strong>Prospect:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="1081748" first="Isaiah" last="Sullivan"] ’22<br /> <strong>Position:</strong> F<br /> <strong>Evaluation:</strong> Isaiah is a long athletic wiry forward who showed countless flashes of his potential. He was able to catch high and be effective off of dribble penetration finishing at the rim. He’s a high-level rebounder and help side blocker/contester who changed a number of shots.
