Scouting Report:
NBA Comparison: Wes Unseld
Strengths: Bruising bigman with a great basketball IQ and feel for the game ... Extremely adept on the block. His post skills are at an NBA level right now ... He showed the ability to create shots against a great shot blocker (Greg Oden) at the Reebok Big Time tournament in 2005. Really creates space well with his size and strength ... A dominant rebounder, hits the glass hard, using tenacity, strength and athleticism ... A fierce competitor. Has a passion and toughness to his game that so many big men lack ... Really understands the game, with great vision and passing ability ... One of those rare bigmen that makes those around him better ... Has great touch around the basket ... A great athlete, his body might give someone the wrong impression at first glance, he has solid leaping ability and agility ... He is extremely adept at sealing his man on post deliveries ... Has great footwork and uses position and leverage well for rebounds ... Long wingspan allows him to play bigger than his 6-8 size ... Outlets the ball extremely well from the post, finding players with perfect full court passes ... A great kid with personality and star potential on the NBA level ...
Weaknesses: Thick legs anchor him to the floor to a degree, especially with regard to foot speed and transition game ... Has decent quickness, but lacks great speed in the open floor ... Better in the half court set than full court but can get up and down the floor when he needs to ... Has had a few arthroscopic knee surgeries in his high school career, but hasn't shown any lingering affects from it ...
Notes: Fame appears to run in his genes, his uncle Mike Love was a member of the Beach Boys ...
