Palmer now clocks in at 6’5” and showed he is using his height to mix it up and command the paint when he gets touches. He does a good job using his body to carve out space. Palmer had a few great touches from the dunker spot where he floated through on the baseline and received a drop off pass and was able to capitalize a few times. He also has a package of midrange looks he can rely on to get defenders in the air with pump fakes combined with his footwork.
