Tchoubfong is looking to provide an extra jolt and bring further versatility to the wing/frontcourt rotation for Melo and he did just that on Sunday. He mucked up things defensively for New World given his swtichability and showed a willingness to hunt down rebounds out of his area with purpose. Offensively he did a good job of keeping things simple and attacking in straight-line fashion where he welcomed and absorbed contact well. The outside shot is still a work in progress, but when he catches it in rhythm and with space, he’s liable to convert like he did on one occasion in this scrimmage.

Izzy continues to leave his stamp on games with his physical presence and efficiency around the rim. Early on it was about owning the glass and cleaning up everything in sight, grabbing rebounds at a high rate and giving his team consistent extra possessions. He finished in the paint with ease and made it look simple, getting to his spots and converting without needing a lot of dribbles or complicated moves. Through two games against WCAC opponents, he’s been extremely efficient and his game translates because of how direct he is. He consistently rebounds, finishes quickly, and scores in one-on-one situations with limited actions. The impact is constant, and he’s the type of interior piece that keeps a team steady even when the pace speeds up.

Izzy had an efficient outing vs Boys’ Latin, finishing with 19 points and 12 boards. He started slow but finished the game strong, grabbing a fair amount of offensive rebounds and putback layups. He stepped beyond the arc and hit a big three to try to will Good Counsel back in it, but his effort was just short. Still, Izzy showcased his versatility as both a playmaker and a big body on the inside. Used both facets of his game in a big way, truly acting as a force inside the arc all game long.

Israel Tchoubfong has had an amazing spring and now summer for Good Counsel. Miller didn’t have an answer for Izzy, especially as a driver. He got the rim consistently, and Miller had to foul him. Izzy knocked down a three and did a good job on the glass. He finished with 23 points and 7 rebounds in a Good Counsel win.

Israel Tchoubfong was dominant for Good Counsel. Forest Park didn’t have an answer for him, and he was productive on offense from inside and out. Izzy always does a nice job finishing at the rim, but today he stepped out and hit 3 threes. He was impactful defensively, and I think he is turning into the kind of wing a lot of coaches like at the next level. He had 17 points. 

Izzy Tchoubfong Izzy Tchoubfong 6'5" | PF Good Counsel | 2027 State MD is an entertaining player to watch and is starting to put it together. Izzy does a great job attacking the basket and is a catch-and-shoot threat. He has high defensive potential as a wing, and he moves like a guard even though he has the size of a small forward. Izzy had a few tough finishes inside and led Good Counsel in scoring with 13 in a blowout over John Handley. 

Izzy utilized his size and speed well to maneuver drives to the basket from the top of the key. he was effective when he could take the defensive rebound and beat the defense up the floor with his dribble. That created lanes for him to drive at times or kick-out to trailing shooters. Finished well near the rim when he concentrated on his shot. He can be a bit over-aggressive in hunting for his looks at times, but that should improve as he starts to read the floor more efficiently. Showed good feel although he is early in his development. Also flashed some nice but raw guard skills.
