He continues to improve his overall skill set, working the perimeter putting up shots behind the 3pt line, finding cutters. He’s works his way from mid to low post where he’s putting together a good scoring package. He’s facing up, using a dribble or two, and using his length with touch or two handed dunks for points. He’s a shot blocker, rebounder, and a court runner.
