Strengths: Considered the top bigman prospect in the country … Extremely smooth post player … Has excellent touch within 12 feet of the basket … Soft hands … Excels on the offensive end with great fundamentals and footwork … Put on 25 pounds of muscle between his freshman and sophomore seasons and it’s made him a much more aggressive and confident post player … Runs the floor especially well for a (near) 7 footer … Good transition player … Good shot blocker, with his long arms he should get a fair number of blocks on the next level … Long arms and a quick leaper … Very versatile big man … Has many effective moves in the low post including a go-to jump hook. Has even developed a sky hook in his sophomore year … Great at positioning himself in the post … Has nice form on his jumper, range is developing … Positions himself well for rebounds and excels on the offensive glass …

Weaknesses: In high school he developed a reputation for being soft and not showing enough heart. Scouts still have some question marks about his toughness inside. He is vastly improved in that area, but still struggles against big and strong players on the NCAA level … Not a physically imposing player inside, plays more a finesse game. Needs to get nastier … Should still add an additional 10-15 pounds … Not an out of this world leaper, but solid … Not an extremely emotional player, which is both a positive and a negative … Passing and ball handling are decent but can improve … Also has been injury prone (missed half of his freshman year after a hip injury that required surgery) … Must develop a killer instinct, more intensity … Free throw shooting is just average …
