Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
Daramola is an athletic, physical, and bouncy player that dominates the paint on both ends, is an elite rim protector, and continues to improve his offensive skill set. The 6-foot-8 power forward is relentless crashing the boards, gets putbacks off the offensive rebound with tip-ins or dunks, has good timing and bounce to be an elite rim protector that blocks/alters shots in the paint, with the strides and agility to close out and alter perimeter shots, and is a solid interior defender that is learning to use his natural gifts and not overreach or extend to prevent foul trouble. Daramola has good post-footwork, looks increasingly comfortable using the drop step and spin-move to get space from opposing bigs, is effective with the one-dribble mid-post jumper off the bounce, and has good timing and body control diving off the pick and roll action, where is he always a threat to go get the ball off the lob for some crown pleasing dunks. Daramola continues to show he is one of the top overall prospects in the Central Section, and throughout the Western Region, as he would have two strong showings of 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 blocks, followed by a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds.
