Outlook

Fantastic athletic ability.  Runs the floor in a transition game and finishes with power going over anybody in his path.  Was late to the game of basketball but continues to improve with each season.  Strong down low and is powerful on the offensive glass.  Has the ability to get out on the wing and cover perimeter players.  Slowly becoming a legit outside threat as witnessed by his emerging ability to hit the 3pt shot.  Unrealized potential and the sky is the limit for him with proper teaching.  A devious left handed player who posses a soft tough around the glass especially on his jump hook.  An underrated passer he can pass out of the double team well to find an open teammate.  Doesn't force shots but could even be more aggressive with his forays to the hoop as he is unstoppable once airborn.
