We got to see Fuentes at Rocky Mountain Mayhem to start out Spring, and the big man naturally grabbed our attention with his ability to affect the game in various ways. He was a force on the glass, which got him easy baskets as he grabbed boards out of his area and went right back up, and if he got an open look, he let it fly as well. Fuentez knocked down a few mid-range shots, he uses his body well on the block, and he’s a creative finisher down low. They got him the ball at the block and he hit cutters for easy baskets. He kicked it back out or he had some back-to-the-basket finishes. He’s still putting the full package together, but there are enough flashes to warrant being on the watch list as we’re curious to see how he looks moving forward. 

Fuentez is a versatile big who brings a modern skill set to the floor. Offensively, he has the ability to extend beyond the arc and knock down perimeter shots, adding valuable spacing. His confidence from deep forces defenders to step out, creating driving lanes and opportunities for the offense. He also shows the ability to finish effectively around the rim, making him a dualvthreat scorer. On the defensive end, Fuentez is active and disruptive. He does a great job reading passing lanes, generating steals and creating transition opportunities. His effort on the boards further adds to his overall impact, as he competes for rebounds on both ends.
