On the offensive side of the ball, Ateny is making over 41% of his threes and making over 2 per game. His future in college could be as a stretch 4 or face up 5.

Ateny is a threat around the bucket on offense and has the potential to alter any game he’s in thanks to his shot blocking and rebounding.

Danville Christian is a unique match-up for a lot of teams due to their size in the paint with two 6’10 centers in their starting lineup. Ateny was a standout on both ends as his length helped him block a few shots and also deflect passes either at the point of pass or in mid-air. Offensively, Ateny has the length to finish above smaller defenders at the rim and his long strides allow him to beat other bigs down the court. His baseline cut into a slam dunk was his most impressive offensive moment of the game. Another flash play offensively that stood out was when Ateny went big to big with the pass for an easy bucket. We’ll see if teams can find more success offensively against Danville Christian, their length really bothered Elliott County on Thursday night.
