Expert Analysis
Adrian Maloney Jr | Prep Hoops Scout
Fernando Salas Fernando Salas 6'5" | C State KS is a dominant interior protector whose sheer size and presence in the paint make scoring on him a daunting challenge. Every possession in the key becomes a gamble for opponents—his length and timing allow him to disrupt shots effortlessly, contesting at the apex and turning what look like certain buckets into contested misses. More than just a shot‑blocker, Salas embodies intimidation: his stance, his footwork, and his readiness communicate a clear message—don’t enter the paint. He doesn’t rely on fouls; instead, he uses fundamentals—chest-up positioning, verticality, and patience—to deter drives and alter trajectories without consequence. His presence forces opposing guards and forwards to rethink their attack strategy, often pushing them into less efficient jumpers or kick‑outs. Fernando’s defensive dominance not only shuts down the interior but energizes his teammates, anchors their system, and shifts momentum the moment he steps on the floor.
