Expert Analysis
Tom Keller | Prep Hoops Scout
He finished with eight points, but the icing on the cake was his impact in the final 30 seconds, when he came up with two huge blocks to help seal the game. I liked how he was able to score effectively from the dunker spot and showed a willingness to rebound, consistently finding ways to track down the ball. He set solid screens and created opportunities for teammates, and his length was evident all night, especially while protecting the rim in the zone. He also did a nice job rim running in transition, putting pressure on the defense. He has definitely improved since I saw him in the fall. While he has received some small-college recruitment interest, he would greatly benefit from a post-grad year to fine-tune his skills, get stronger, and compete against higher-level competition, which could take his game to the next level.
