is already insanely versatile. He has an elite combination of size, physicality, and skill. For starters, he is a monster as a post scorer. He bumps defenders with his frame and carves out space for hook shots and floaters. He embraces contact at every moment possible and makes life difficult for whoever is tasked with defending him. When you couple that with his fluid footwork, you have a dangerous scorer around the rim, as he is also very skilled at driving downhill and smashing through the defense, leading to many and-1 finishes. He is great at attacking closeouts and can also shoot from outside. He is also a very high-level passer and processor for his age.

displayed his elite combination of size and skill in this game. Pete’s handle is out of this world for a player of his archetype. There were multiple moments in this game where he attacked closeouts and pulled insane moves out of his bag. Wraparound behind-the-back crossovers at high speeds were a piece of cake for him, and he used his repertoire of moves to shake defenders and explode past them to the rim. Once he got to the paint, it was wraps for the defense. He showcased nice, fluid footwork, contact balance, and control when getting buckets around the rim. He was elite at bumping defenders and creating angles for himself to finish high off the glass, and his ability to embrace contact allowed him to draw many fouls and finish and-one buckets. Pete was great at passing in this game due to the attention he demanded because of his ability to get to the paint at will. He was similarly impactful on the defensive end as well. He played defense at a high level both on the perimeter and in the post.

is a versatile forward. Pete was a matchup nightmare throughout this game. His post scoring stood out especially. Pete absorbs contact around the rim and finishes through it with his soft touch. His ability to stretch out and stay balanced in the post was freakish. His footwork was elite and he creates angles that allow him to bend around opponents and convert at the rim. This combined with his physicality in the post made him a constant problem for the opposing forwards matched up on him. His midrange scoring was great because of these skills as well. His footwork, touch, and ability to create space with his body allowed him to convert many intermediate jumpers. Pete was similarly impactful on the other side of the floor. He showed himself to be a very versatile and switchable defender, guarding all positions and remaining engaged at all times. Pete blocked shots at the rim and also got steals on the perimeter, showing his multifaceted impact on the defensive end.
