He’s only been playing for 3 years. Played primarily soccer before that. Crazy athletic for his size. His feet and touch around the basket are pretty amazing given his limited exposure to the game. His vision is really exceptional but I attribute that to soccer - you are used to using your peripheral. His free throw shooting has improved from around 50 over the summer to mid to high 60s this season. He’s been working on that as well.
He had 13 (6-6 FGs) & 12 tonight (along with 3 assists, blocks and steals) in 11 minutes of PT. It’s tough to tell much playing in these types of games. But I will say that even playing elite bigs around the country, he’s an elite defender. His knack for blocking shots is pretty special, even if he didn’t have a 7’ wing span.
He will play D1. Question of how high will depend on his summer.
