Scouting Report from 2003 InfoSport Pro Basketball Combine

Physical & Mental:  Athletic, strong and runs the floor very well. At his size, he could be an ideal 3/4.

 

Ball Skills: In order to play the 3, he will need some work on perimeter ball skills. Closer to the basket, and in the post, he has good ball skills.

 

Offense: Very good post moves. Takes the ball to the basket very well. Can finish in traffic.

 

Rebounding: Excellent offensive rebounder. Seemed to grab every one.

 

Defense: Very good post defender even when he was giving up 2-3 inches. Did not guard on the perimeter during combine.


Game Knowledge: Smart player.

 

Strengths: Rebounding, especially offensive. Ability to finish in traffic. Excellent post moves.

 

Opportunities for Improvement: Perimeter ball handling and jump shot.

 

Overall Comments:  One of the better big men at the combine. Would make an excellent 3/4 if he can improve his perimeter game.
