came alive in the second half with his ability to make shots on the perimeter and score around the bucket. 14 of his 17 points came in the 2nd half. He used his length on the defensive end to alter shots and has great timing using his windshield wiper blades arms. He grabbed a few rebounds and was in passing/driving lanes to gather steals. Federico also really does a good job of lulling defenders to sleep on the attack and uses his lack of quickness to his advantage. His ability to play on the block is one of his most underrated skill sets. At times it didn’t really seem like he was too confident to start the game, but once he realized that he could slow the game down, everything then started to fall into place for the sophomore he had 17 points with two three-pointers. I want to see him work on getting in the weight room and adding more muscle to his frame so he can finish and contort his body through contact and traffic. He is going to have to learn how to become an alpha dog because at most points of the game, I felt like he was the best player on the floor. He just didn’t see it in himself till the later stretches. Like how he keeps progressing over time and should start to see it click sooner rather than later.
