Route is a painfully skinny, 6-foot-5 southpaw hybrid forward with plenty of room to grow his game, but even the immediate presents production. He was one of the bright spots in both scrimmages, but hit some much-needed three’s against Thrill to help stop the bleeding. The athletic fluidity will come in time as he grows into his frame, but Route did a nice job of grabbing boards at their peak, using his length to alter shots around the rim against opposing bigs and showed off some good hands with quick finishing ability on the offensive end. The upside and potential here with Route is very intriguing and fits the mold as a prospect who could benefit from a post-grad prep year to put on weight and expand his skillset.
