Has explosive athleticism and a solid frame that allows him to be a strong finisher on the break and even a good rim protector. Even at his shorter stature currently, he already led the team in blocks at least on one occasion during the Heart of America Hoopfest, but more importantly, he has the gift of timing blocks when he contests shots, which tells me he leads the team in it often. He reminds me of Gary Payton II. He has the lateral quickness to be a devastating on-ball defender as well.

High motor with elite hustle and a great feel for the game. Very good defensive awareness, understanding trap angles, when to swipe, and how to play the passing lanes with great timing, shooting the gap like a true ball hawk. A sure finisher anytime he got into the lane, showing two-step and swing-step footwork to get the defense off balance or off their feet before capitalizing with touch and creativity around the basket. He also excelled at setting his teammates up on the drive, either hitting the ball ahead, dropping it off, or lobbing it up after drawing an extra defender into the action.
