Ouattara was a prospect that really caught my eye in the final four round where he was the definition of a workhorse on the glass and finishing close around the rim. Once again, he was low maintenance in this game, but still had his fingerprints all over the paint where he sored 10 points (4/5 FG), grabbed five rebounds and swatted away five shots while altering many more. His activity, the quickness with which he gets off the ground and his ability to track rebounds outside of his area are all characteristics in a productive big for various levels.

-Ouattara gave some big minutes when an unexpected injury to the frontcourt inserted him into the game midway through the 1Q. Ouattara quickly capitalized on the opportunity by sprinting the floor to grab four offensive boards to extend possessions to game and hit a pair of FTs just before half. His 2H play was even better. Ouattara finished a well-timed lob with a 2-handed flush in transition, blocked 3 shots, and continued to eat up space on the glass against a smaller Whitman team. Really dynamic athlete to track in postseason play.
