<p>Lots of talk of about the deep guard selection in Texas lately. Let's show some love to the Big man who do the dirty work and are often overlooked. Pangos was stacked with big man who WILL play at the next level. Some of them already ranked & some of them are fresh faces. Let's get into it.</p>

While watching him I had to confirm this because there's no way a kid could have his size and frame in middle school. He's a solid 6'7 now, he competed with some of the top bigs in the state and looked on par. He made several plays in transition and is a strong post presence on the boards recording double doubles all weekend. Offensive rebounding seems to be his strength at the moment...I can't imagine on the court with kids his age. He could end up a top 5 ranked center in the state and even nationally ranked with the right development.

Nothing to fancy but protects the rim and grab any rebound that comes his way. He's also developed some strength backing down defenders and finishing with pro moves like hooks and up and unders.

He is spot up shooter with nice form and when he shot someone said u0022that's what he does.u0022 He also provided some good post presence defensively blocking shots, forcing turnovers with his quick hands.

Defensively he carried weight, his athleticism lets him slide from block to block guarding 2 players at once. Offensively he has some nice foot work and plays a bully ball type of style that frustrated the defensive. He was explosive, several dunks even off of 2 feet.
