Palmer was a player that I did not know too much about, but he introduced himself with force—literally. He set hard screens, rolled and finished strong inside, and played with an edge. He rebounds in traffic, defends the post, and moves surprisingly well for his size. His two-handed dunks that he kept having shifted momentum, and guards couldn’t get through him, which opened things up for his teammates as well. Palmer was under the radar heading in, but by the end of the weekend, he was a must-watch that we want to see more of. He’s physical, tough, and earned a bump on the board.
