What impressed me the most was his patience in the post. Wait to see how the defense reacts to him on the block then make his move. Have the presence of mind to be aware of finishing on the correct side of the goal. Provide multiple efforts on the boards. The day after camp he announced he will play at Oak Hill Academy next season.

The big man displayed his footwork ability on the post. Also showcased his around-the-basket awareness. Caused mismatch problems, and when the defense adjusted so did he. Chukwudebelu found the open man quickly when the double team came.

Currently a 4- star recruit I can see Francis improving this ranking quickly into the summer. With big broad shoulders and long arms, he keeps the ball high and dunks pretty much everything near the rim. Chukwudebelu has a 7-5 wingspan with ball skills out to three. I can’t imagine there being many centers better than him in his class. As he matures on the court I expect him to start to control the games more, and AAU season is a good time to begin his dominance.
