Some skill upside, has decent fluidity and OK touch, with a good high arch on his jumper. Made 20+ three pointers as a high school senior. Probably not a jump shooter in the NBA right away but perhaps eventually.

Quick twitch athlete that covers ridiculous distances in close out situations. One of the best at rotating all the way from the paint to shooters in the corner and wing. Blocks lots of jump shots.

Aggressive rim protection, not just size but great timing a very good second jump and the instincts to diagnose plays and rotate to the right place at the right time to control the paint defensively

Arguably the best rim protector in the class. Lead EYBL with 5.6 blocks per 36 minutes. 0.7 more than the next best player and almost 2 blocks more than the third. EYBL numbers, especially defensive numbers, have so far proven to be useful and translatable at higher levels of play. Was the best rim protector on that circuit and looked to have as much or more defensive upside than Mo Bamba, Jaren Jackson, Wendell Carter, Daniel Gafford etc

Moves decently well for his size, runs the court well. Even “fast” in open court situations. Catches passes at incredibly high points.

Very bouncy for his size, gets off his feet quickly. Big time upside as a roll man, especially lob finishing and has all the physical tools of a modern defensive center.

Measured 7’1 with a 7’4 wingspan and 9’3 standing reach in the USA Basketball u19 mini-camp in the summer of 2017

Not a bad motor but long legs and relatively thin frame cause him to be displaced when fighting for interior position. A good rebounder but considering his physical talent could be a great one. Boxing out is inconsistent.

Tries to block everything, will likely be foul prone at the next level. If he reels that in, how much do the shot blocking numbers go down?

Moves OK for his size but certainly far from switchable, often poor technique in his defensive stance, super wild in his closeouts, trying to block spot ups and run guys off the line but at higher level will lead to drives and defensive breakdowns.

Intimidating interior presence but otherwise hasn’t necessarily shown superior defensive versatility. Will likely be pushed around and taken advantage of in the post. More of a team defender/rim protector.

Very raw footwork offensively, mostly a finisher around the hoop, no real individual moves. Has been working on his handle and shooting but is unlikely to be functional with these in the pro game. Effectiveness in the post at the high school level was reliant almost strictly on size and athletic ability.

Not high level feel and vision as a passer or cutter. Will need to learn how to play as a roll man and really leverage his physical tools to free himself and/or his teammates as a screener.

Will he be able to read complex offensive schemes and how long will it take him to learn positioning, footwork and technique on both ends?

Off court/intangible questions. Leaving the Western Kentucky team was a controversial decision.

Some questionable tweets and comments. Those that have followed his career wonder if he’ll be able to handle the big lights of the NBA. Not a bad guy by any stretch but shy and family oriented, is he ready to be under the public’s microscope 24 hours a day, everyday?
