NBA Comparison: Vince Carter
Strengths: An absolutely jaw dropping type of physical specimen ... His explosiveness is on the elite level for the NBA ... Already has a strong body and will only get stronger as his frame continues to fill out, so he'll be able to finish without any strength issues ... His game has improved tremendously in the past year. He now has a package of offensive skills including the ability to create shots off the dribble as well as range out to college three ... Has developed slick ball handling ability with a mean crossover, which he uses well to get by opponents to the basket or for setting up his outside j ... His perimeter shot has become fairly consistent, and his scoring ability has significantly increased ... Really excels on the break finishing with acrobatic dunks ... Uses his strong body well to take the ball inside against weaker athletes ... His basketball IQ has developed to where he has a good idea of when to drive, shoot or pass and takes what the defense gives him ...

Weaknesses: Needs to become more consistent overall. Does not always play up to his abilities ... Must gain experience and develop more of a killer instinct. He's competitive, but can go through the motions when he's not on his game ... Has superstar potential, but must continue to work hard and not buy into his own hype to get there ... His ability to set up teammates and passing game could show some improvement ... Must learn to play with more intensity defensively ... His outside shot has become reliable but his midrange game can still improve ... His first steep is good, but not as quick as some of the NBA's top 2-guards.

Notes: Has verbally committed to the Trojans of USC.
