At 6’7”, Tavares made a strong impact as a reliable rim protector and efficient finisher around the basket. Defensively, he used his length and timing to alter shots, contest everything in the paint, and provide a consistent presence as a help-side defender. He showed good instincts rotating over, protecting the rim without fouling, and making opponents think twice before attacking. On the offensive end, Tavares was effective finishing through contact and capitalizing on opportunities near the rim, whether off cuts, rebounds, or dump-off passes. His ability to control the paint on both ends made him a valuable interior presence and a key contributor throughout the camp.
