Very active on the boards, his team improves with his presence. His potential undoubtedly lies in his legs, very powerful when driving forward and jumping upward. In transition, he is extremely aggressive attacking inside. He must improve his decision-making when the defense collapses. When running, he always creates an advantage because he draws fouls. He needs to add the three-point shot to his game, and on the defensive end he is consistently effective, showing good attitude and technique.

Exceptionally committed and relentless in his effort. Fights for every rebound, seems to be everywhere on the court, and plays with nonstop intensity.

Displays great explosiveness attacking the basket and the skill to finish among bigger defenders, avoiding contact when needed, drawing fouls, and embracing physical play to complete scoring opportunities. Improving his three-point shooting remains an important area of development. An expert getting contact with his defender to score with a bank shot close to the basket,specially by right.

A defensive force, applying tremendous ball pressure on opposing point guards. He is an outstanding offensive rebounder and highly effective around the basket on short-range finishes. Also shows a pull-up mid-range jumper after a quick stop, a weapon he could utilize more often.

He contributes in every aspect of the game, including the areas that do not appear in the box score—setting screens, rotating on defense, helping teammates, and making winning plays. He leaves everything on the floor while showcasing his talent. The type of player any coach would love to have on their team.
