Underwood has been playing with a lot of confidence lately. He was named an impact player for his Team Oklahoma 16U team last weekend in Lubbock, Texas. King showed his strength in the paint and finished with some strong rebounding performances over the four game stretch for his team. Over the weekend, he averaged 10 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals per contest. Underwood paired his athleticism with his great strength and was able to pursue the ball on both ends at a high rate. Defensively, he is able to switch onto guards and hold his own. He moves his feet well laterally and competes each possession. His versatility allows Team Oklahoma to utilize him in a number of different ways. King also ran the floor well and was able to beat larger defenders back in transition thanks to his speed and effort.

While still raw as a basketball player, the athleticism is starting to come in for the upside prospect. He’s tall and physical, but is very mobile and agile for his size. Allowing him to cover guards, which could help him turn into an outstanding defender down the road. Shows off his athleticism with “grown man” type snagging of rebounds. The offensive skillset isn’t quite there, but a locked in Underwood has the physical gifts to make an impact on the defensive end and rebounding. With plenty of upside to mature into an all around player.
