Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 3303728, member: 1329"] Watched most of that clip. Like his frame. A lot to work with. Moves quite fluidly. Conditioning and strength needs work, like they do for most HS bigs. Hard to take much away from the gameplay, his guards.. blech. His coach also played him too many minutes, but his team got slaughtered when he was on the bench, so I guess it makes sense from the coach's perspective. Pretty good finishing around the basket when he got 1 on 1 without too much defensive help/sag or decent position. Not explosive enough to dominate through doubles even of shorter players, yet. A few nice drop steps and long step pivots. Settled for some face up jumpers instead of attacking a few times, which while his stroke looked fine, he didn't make any. He made 2/3 FTs I saw. Good touch on one, short armed the miss badly. Good rebounding fundamentals before he got tired. Went for the nearest body. Rim protection a work in progress. Timing seemed off, jumped too soon (and sometimes shouldn't have jumped at all). Got caught in no man's land a few times. Actually was better immediately after halftime and start of 4th Q after timeout, so might be a tiredness thing. He also got confused on an important defensive play late and gave up a layup. Looked like he was playing man and the rest of his team was in zone. [/QUOTE]
