Caught Ottoway in team’s quarterfinal game on Sunday and he impressed with mobility at size. Showed touch off the block with a turn and baby hook finish while also powering through contact for an and1. Made a couple put back conversions off of o boards. Doesn’t force shots and will make the proper reads for kickouts from inside out or from the short corner and dunker areas. Keeps up with pace and liked his overall feel for the game.

A big who can be utilized in the 4 and 5 spots at the next level. Stretches the floor out at times but mostly advantageous on the interior presence. Soft hands on the catch in dump off areas. Gained position on block with frame and footwork for baby hook over size. Made a quick cut in the lane for retrieval and score. Doesn’t force and let’s play develop.

Ottaway is a reliable post presence for the Warriors, doing a good job of establishing position on the block and converting with touch around the rim. When teammates attack the basket, he consistently places himself in the right spots for dump-offs, showing soft hands and awareness. In transition, he runs the floor well and looks to finish at the rim. Beyond scoring, rebounding is also a strong suit for Ottaway, as he uses his 6’5” frame to seal defenders and actively pursue the ball on both ends of the floor.

One of the most productive bigs I saw all weekend, Ottaway had multiple steals underneath his own basket after the defense thought they finished a defensive stop with a rebound. That heads up defense with quick hands, awareness and care to not foul got four free points for his team and that’s the difference in a game decided by just three points. Ottaway also passed the ball impressively for a post player of his size, scanning the court and making the right read. In crunch time Ottaway also had a key putback layup where he simply wanted it more than the opposition to lead his team to a win.
