10p 5r 1a 1s 6b 3/8 FG 4/5 FT vs Jackson Reed
-One of the better two-way performances that I’ve seen this season and from Achufusi. He was aggressive and active defensively both in the halfcourt and in transition blocking shots both on and off the ball (6 total). His handle has improved and he’s finding opportunities to probe the defense when attacking long closeouts. Rebounds very well for his size because he has a nose for the ball and isn’t afraid to mix it up with bigs in the paint. His best play came on a defensive rebound that he took coast to coast, skipped through traffic in the lane to finish with the inside hand reverse.

Achufusi impressed with his ability to find the bucket effortlessly. He is a threat from the perimeter cashing in on attempts throughout the game. Achufusi is patient getting to different spots off the bounce. He is able to use his broad frame to bully his way to spots. The southpaw has a smooth green light release that looks like it can go in anytime he touches the rock. Locking forward to tracking his progress over several seasons.

Read EvaluationWilliam Lloyd III | Prep Hoops Scout
Chuma was quite effective with his touches in this overtime win against St Mary’s Ryken. He started off the game draining a couple of threes and firing often when given space. Chuma was pretty efficient out on the break, always tried to get ahead into scoring position. Finished a few layups and had a nice euro-move to evade the defense on one drive. It was clear the Achufusi knew how to score the ball and has the confidence to be a consistent scoring option for Episcopal. Sat for a bit due to foul trouble and lineup changes, but immediately entered the game late in the 4th quarter. Made a quick move by the defender and finished at the rim through contact.

Achufusi is a smooth lefty with a pure shooting stroke. It remains to be seen what type of role he will have within the Bulldogs program, but he did have a successful grassroots run this summer and is heading into year two with some positive momentum.
