Expert Analysis
Will Armishaw | Prep Hoops Scout
Uzgiris, out of the St. Luke’s School in Connecticut, checks in at #14 among the centers and #117 overall. One of the most physically imposing prospects in New England, Uzgiris is another 7-footer with broad shoulders and a big frame. He plays with physicality on both ends of the floor, showing good instincts on the offensive glass and the ability to keep opponents away from the rim defensively. He sets solid screens on offense, has a huge catch radius, and does a nice job of passing out of the post when double teams come. On top of that, he’s a vocal presence on the back line of the defense.

is a big and strong center who dominates down low. His wide body punishes weaker opponents and his soft touch around the rim makes him deadly within ten feet. He also has a push shot that he effectively uses in post-play. Uzgiris has long arms and he uses that in many different facets of his game. His rebounding is terrific, making him a double-double threat every time out. Uzgiros long arms and large frame also help rack up blocks as he can swat balls without a huge amount of effort. Uzgiris needs to become more athletic to help him move his feet better, but overall he’s an exceptionally talented player who will only get better during his high school career.
