Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
Daramola is an athletic and strong forward that is an elite paint protector, and showed improved moves to score the ball in the post. Daramola runs the floor well in the open court, gets ahead of the defense for transition dunks, is an elite shot blocker around the basket, with the lateral quickness to step out and alter perimeter shots, and is relentless on the boards providing his team with multiple offensive possessions on missed shots. Daramola showed improved balance and confidence with the drop-step post move, which he used several times over the weekend, with the physical build to muscle through contact and nice touch on shots around the basket, made nice use of the rip-through move to attack from the top of the key, and enough handle to get to the basket for the finish. Daramola has good touch on the mid-range shot from the top of the key or from the short porch on either side of the basket, and had some monster dunks off the pass or the lob to get the crowd on their feet. If he continues to develop his post moves and scoring ability around the basket, there are few teams in the Section that have anyone that can hold him and keep him out on the perimeter.
