==== Analysis ====
He is a tall, lanky, very athletic player who needs to get a lot stronger. He really jumps out of the gym but is not a very skilled player at this time. He has a big upside but needs strength desperately. All his points come around the basket, "garbage" guy at this time. He needs to develop skills, shooting, a post game, offensive moves, and a better understanding of the game. His athleticism far exceeds his skill set right now.
