A true anchor inside, Akuentok protects the rim and controls the glass on both ends. He’s comfortable operating with his back to the basket in the post and shows a soft touch around the rim. Above it, he’s a constant lob threat who gives his guards an easy target.

Akuentok, a Canadian-based prospect who plays for Fort Erie Academy, is more of your traditional center type prospect who used his 6-foot-11 frame and wide wingspan to protect the rim but also has advanced lateral speed and mobility when defending in ball screens or when caught in a switch on the perimeter. The Saint Louis-commit has an offensive skill-set that coach Josh Schertz will be able to maximize. Akuentok showed his back to the basket feel and touch, his ability to make decisions out of the short roll and he never finishes soft around the basket – always a two-hand dunk.
