A big who stands out with how his interesting offensive skillset impacts the game, Buley is effective in the painted area as he scores effectively from the low post, finishes well as a roller in ball screens, is capable of catching lobs off guard penetration, runs the floor well in transition, and also makes his presence felt on the offensive glass. Countering his inside game, Buley is just as impactful on the perimeter as he is more than capable of stretching the floor and being an effective pick and pop threat. Defensively, Buley is also impactful as not only as a switchable defender but also as a guy who uses his length to deter shots around the rim and crash the glass and come down with rebounds.

Read EvaluationAri Rosenfeld | Prep Hoops Scout
Despite a loss at the hands of national power Imhotep (PA), Buley impressed with his wide-ranging offensive skillset in the frontcourt. The budding inside-out threat was at his most effective near the rim, taking advantage of a frontline that lacked a true big but still offered plenty of length and athleticism to provide a true challenge. Buley rose to the occasion, showing soft hands and swift feet while navigating traffic for smooth finishes out of a variety of actions. His ability to make decisions on the perimeter out of dribble handoffs and run the floor for early offense provide a healthy dose of versatility on the offensive end. Buley looks to be on a D1 track with potential upside based on how he continues to develop physically and athletically in the coming years.
