Nunez has a strong argument of being the most physically imposing freshman in the 2030 class for the DMV area as a whole. He’s all of 6’7″-6’8″ with a powerful frame that he knows how to use as he bulldozes his matchup inside the paint. Nunez has shown impressive instincts in establishing and winning the leverage game even when he’s going against upperclassmen, which is apparent as the ball swings offensively as he slowly but surely gains ground to put himself in position for offensive boards. Typically with players Nunez’s age, dependable hands haven’t exactly surfaced especially when playing with high-level guards, but the Team Durant anchor has proven that if the ball is in his reach, he’ll snag it in small windows and quickly adjust his touch to finish amongst the trees.

13p 7r (6/8 FG) vs Nightrydas

-Nuñez was an absolute matchup nightmare on the low block as an uber-physical forward prospect that does his work early to seal and score from good positions around the rim. His ability to come up with tough catches above his head or below his knees before quickly getting into jump hook or drop step moves made him a tough cover throughout the game for the Nightrydas. If he can add in some counters to accentuate his physicality and size around the rim- he has a chance to cement his status as the top big in the local 2030 class in addition to a national profile.
