Strengths: A strong and athletic wing player who is physically ready for the next level … He has a nice mix of tools that he brings to the game, and he is able to contribute in a variety of ways … A lanky player with a good build, he can get to the basket and use his body to finish plays … He shows a decent first step, and can get to the basket using jabs out of the triple threat … As a jump shooter, his form is pretty good and he is a capable threat from beyond the arc … He is very good from midrange, where he has a well balanced pull up, shooting it with good elevation and rhythm … As a rebounder, he is extremely effective, because he can use his physicality and athleticism to go get the ball … Has the ability to block shots …

Weaknesses: Can do a number of things well, but doesn’t have one area that he is great at … His perimeter game lacks polish, and he is not very effective attacking off the dribble … He is a fairly inconsistent shooter, needing to get into a rhythm before he can make shots … He is not the smoothest player when attacking the basket, needing an extra step to gather himself before exploding … Makes poor decisions and tends to panic when he gets pressured … Has only one season of D1 basketball under his belt as he spent time in JUCO and rehabbing a leg injury …
