His stock is on the rise slowly but surely and was one of the players that college coaches and media members were discussing throughout the day at camp. He has a long wingspan, nice athleticism, the ability to play at the high post and on the wing and is still only scratching the surface of how good he can be.
Made a high number of plays above the rim for his team on both ends of the floor, using his height and athleticism to his benefit. Not only did he show that he can make a nice impact in the paint, but he also stepped outside and knocked down some perimeter shots.
It doesn’t take much time watching him to see the type of impact that he can make on both ends of the floor and how valuable he is to his team. Another player that made a nice number of plays above the rim, he also played the game with a very high motor, battling for rebounds, hustling for loose ball, making all the small plays that often get overlooked.
Highlights
He didn’t have his best showing but he provided some offense for his squad that needed as much production as possible as they were missing their leading scorer and starting Point Guard. Scoring the ball inside the paint on occasion and also showing his ability to knock down shots off the catch were some of the things we saw from him.

Last season he played a role for his team that was dominated by seniors but this upcoming season he will be called on to play a larger role which we saw at camp on Thursday. Offensively a good portion of his production inside the paint but he really showed what he could do on the defensive side of the ball. He defended multiple positions, and really showed what he can do on the perimeter, making things difficult for opposing guards and wings.
