About Michael
Expert Analysis
Charles Yates | Prep Hoops Scout
Recently reclassifying to 2027, Mike has been on my radar for a few years now and he continues to impress with his hustle and relentless energy. Uwalaka plays for Houston Raptors Benjamin, and he constantly knows where to be on the floor at all times. His infectious defense motivates his team to cause turnovers, and this swings the momentum towards the Raptors continuously. Uwalaka uses underrated athleticism and IQ to crash the glass on both ends as a hybrid guard/wing and uses explosive ability to get to the rim, as well as drawing loose ball fouls and being able to guard multiple positions.
