Other Info:

• Physical & Mental: Very athletic (above average jumping ability and explosiveness). Plays with confidence and poise. Fighting attitude on both ends of the court.
• Ball Skills: Ability to initiate fast break with very good court vision and passing skills. Must keep the ball lower while dribbling.
• Offense: Getting lower when having the ball will increase his effectiveness. Must read the defensive situation better before he puts the ball on the floor. Very strong and explosive taking the ball to the basket. Holding his stroke and staying with his shot will increase his 3 point shooting consistency. Runs the floor very fast.
• Rebounding: Relies more on his jumping ability instead of trying to box out first. Fights for the rebounding ball on both ends.
• Defense: Effective perimeter defender. Getting lower when guarding the ball will increase tremendously his effectiveness. Very focused on help side assignments. Must be more aggressive playing post defense and boxing out.
• Game Knowledge: Significant ability to initiate and read fast break action. Needs to develop a better understanding of post play. Must be an offensive threat from the perimeter so that he doesn’t telegraphs his passes.
• Strengths: Rebounding and face up moves with his back to the basket.
• Opportunities for Improvement: Staying lower (knees bend) when facing the basket ready to shoot or drive. Taking his time (to read defensive help and his defender) before putting ball on the floor both facing the basket and in post up situations. Boxing out opponents at all times.
• Overall Comments: Versatile player, able to accomplish multiple tasks and help his team in numerous ways. Interacts naturally, exhibits a fighting attitude and significant coachability. Plenty of room for improvement.
