Tate was one of the more active frontcourt players in my Jr. 3SSB SE/NE Super Regional coverage. His rebounding, physicality, weak-side defensive awareness, and overall effort translated on both ends of the floor.

Boog’s Take: Tate’s activity gives him a foundation to impact games without needing the ball in his hands. Continuing to combine physical rebounding with defensive awareness will be important as he develops.

He is comfortable operating from the mid-post, using his size, touch, and decision-making to generate offense in different ways. On the boards, he is active and physical, consistently finishing possessions with effort and timing. His versatility is a key strength, with clear potential to grow into a true three-level scorer as his skill set develops. He also shows confidence creating off the dribble, not shying away from tough shots or pressure situations, giving him a very high developmental ceiling.
