13p 14r 3b vs DeMatha
-Ponder is an absolute monster of a physical specimen out on the basketball court. The physical big performed very well against a DeMatha frontcourt that has gotten the best out of most of their opponents this summer. Loved the timing, anticipation, and athleticism displayed on several blocks that he raced back in transition to collect. He takes pride in the defensive end of the floor and is learning how to use his physicality to bump drivers and rebounders off their spot without fouling. He is a magnet for rebounds on the offensive glass and has improved his footwork around the basket to pivot for better angles at the rim whether he’s finishing with a 2-handed flush or laying it up with either hand off the glass. If his skill level can continue to increase the range on his touch around the basket, he should develop into an even more formidable center prospect. Loved the intangibles of competitiveness and communication whether he was on the floor or cheering from the sideline– you can tell that he cares about winning and will give his team everything he’s got to come away with the W.
