Strengths: Long agile forward who displays a high level of energy and athleticism … Gives solid effort at all times … Explosive player capable of highlight reel dunks … Runs the court well, very good transition player … Can spot up for mid range shots and likes to shoot from the baseline … Uses his long arms and athleticism well to grab rebounds … Hits the glass hard and scores well on put backs … His defensive ability is average, but he has the length and athleticism to become an excellent defender if he works at it … Should make an excellent power forward on the college level, but how well he can transition into a small forward is the question …

Weaknesses: A bit of a tweener, size and skill wise, He’s 6-8 with long arms, but lacks the body to carry a great deal of weight … Will need to develop more perimeter skills to make it is a small forward. He’s plays better around the basket … His feel for the game is suspect. Lacks great perimeter skills, his passing and ball handling are weak … Needs to work on his offensive game, his range is limited and his one on one game lacks polish … Can’t pull up off the dribble … Needs to add a lot of strength/weight to his frame …

Notes: Chose Duke over Rutgers in a close recruiting battle. Figures to inject a high level of athleticism into the Duke program and be a 4 year Dukie …
