, a 6’7” center with an incredible hustle, along with a tough and aggressive playing style, this player changes the game with his relentless high motor. Heider thrives on doing all of the dirty work, battling for every loose ball, diving for 50/50 balls, and contesting shots at all costs. Despite his size, he fights in the paint against bigger opponents, boxing out with determination to grab rebounds, often outworking taller players and high leaper. His hustle impacts the game in ways that don’t always show up on the stat sheet, whether he’s setting hard screens, sealing off defenders, or making the extra effort to keep plays alive. Heider’s a true hard worker, always willing to put the team first.

Read EvaluationLaython Washington | Prep Hoops Scout
Became a fan simply because of the energy he brings to the game. Clapping when his opponents start taunting and the crowd starts getting rowdy; he lives for high intensity games. That energy led to creating extra possessions for his team, and and-one putbacks. Those putbacks kept his team within range until they took the lead. Even when they lost he became valuable in the post because of his footwork and ability to score downlow.
