Ryan Morgan | Prep Hoops Scout
The lanky forward has put together a strong opening to the season, showcasing more strength to finish inside, a more confident handle to get to the rim from the perimeter, and an improved jumpshot that helps him create enough stress to keep defenders close. He’s also been a key defender for the Trojans with his length and quickness, and ability to defend the paint.

Has done a great job early in the year of defending different spots on the floor, whether it’s matching up with wings or taking on posts. Even when he was outmatched strength-wise, he did a great job moving his feet, forcing tough shots, and using his length to stay straight up. Has also shown his impact by the rim with some chase-down blocks, big rebounds, and the ability to work to the line. Been working off the bounce on the offensive end a lot more too, and has been able to attack the paint from different spots.

He’s got the size and athleticism to be a real factor on both ends of the floor, and he’s shown a lot more strength and aggression to his game this summer. He should be a legit second option for Auburn offensively and will pose some tough matchups throughout the winter.

He’s been a big riser over the spring and summer, showcasing a much-improved downhill game and looking far more confident and threatening attacking off the bounce. Has a big first step and proved to be quicker than most of the players matching up with him, but was also physical finishing at the rim, converting and-ones, drawing fouls, and really starting to tap into his size and athleticism at the rim.

Looking much more aggressive by the rim on both ends this season. Has the length to be a disrupter inside, blocking and contesting shots, even shown some defensive range to closeout on shooters and block shots away from the rim. He’s been getting tougher on the glass and showing some more strength on perimeter drives. He continues to get more consistent with his 3-point shot too.

Isaiah will have a big role for Auburn, being able to stretch the floor and hit outside shots. He runs the court well, sprinting the rim line to try to get easy buckets for himself. Englund has already showed he can defend the paint at a high level and be a top defender in his class. His offensive game seems to have taken a step during the PH WA Sophomore ID Camp as he scored in a variety of ways.
