Strengths:


Has fantastic size/length (7-foot wingspan) for a SF and is expected to keep growing (growth plates still open)... Is a good finisher around the basket... Attacks the rim aggressively... Has a quick first step and very good handle for his size... Is a great rebounder... Has great lateral quickness and speed for his size... Is a very good leaper... Reads passing lanes well and gets steals in the paint... Can get out and run the open floor... Is a highly motivated, intelligent, and confident player... Has elite level athleticism... Was selected to the First Team All Big East as a freshman.

Weaknesses:


Struggles from long range and needs to improve outside shooting... Needs to add strength... Lacks the ability to pull up off the dribble, as he has been able to use athleticism to blow by defenders throughout his prep and college career... Is extremely raw offensively, using athleticism and bounce in lieu of moves in the paint... Needs to improve ball handling a bit... Is not an efficient scorer in the half court yet... May be a 'tweener (SF/PF) at the next level, but can turn that into a positive if he puts on weight to play the 4... May not be ready to contribute right away... Shot just 21.5% from three last season in limited attempts.
