-I got to see Yeboah for the first time in a Live Period Warmup event and came away impressed with his quick decisions and physicality as a wing prospect with some nice upside. I wouldn’t say that he’s capable of mixing perimeter defenders but the handle IS good enough to change directions around defenders in his downhill drives to the basket. He gets off his feet quickly to block shots or score on putbacks around the basket and really takes pride in his ability to rebound the basketball. Really interested to see how he is deployed in a Lions’ lineup that is taking advantage of the offseason opportunities to work in several new pieces and adjust to both their leading scorers graduating to play at the college level.

-My first viewing of Yeboah in new threads with Carroll as a stocky 3/4 tweener that used his size and lateral quickness to blow past closeouts on his way to the rim. Yeboah does a good job with his pre-catch reads to decide if he’s attacking baseline or middle based on the helper and the closeout from his matchup. Yeboah hit a euro reverse layup off the window in transition, swept through and attacked straight down the middle of the defense for a finger roll at the rim, and had a huge baseline drive into a 2-handed dunk that had the helper make a business decision to stay out of the frame. With his size, a strong upper body and core, and fairly quick feet– he should give the Lions a wing/frontcourt defender that can be successful sliding with guards on an island until his teammate fights over the screen. Intrigued to see his shooting form in further viewings this summer.
