Sylla was incredibly impressive this week and impressed against some excellent front courts. He is a force when fighting for position on the block offensively—he has a big body and knows how to park himself in the right areas of the floor—and he has great post moves and touch once he gets the ball. A post touch for him is really solid offense because most defenders will either allow a decent shot or foul him, and he hits a high percentage of his free throws. Sylla could enter a new stratosphere if he gets in even better shape and is able to beat bigs up and down the floor for rim runs, but he’s going to be a really interesting piece for UMASS next season regardless.
