My notes from his EYBL game today...

Ended the game with 13/2/1. 6/10 from the field. 1/4 from 3. Should have been 14 points and 2/5 from deep... his foot wasn't on the line. Ref looked at the wrong stripe on the floor.

• Went ballistic to start the game… 7 points in the first quarter including a big slam. Then got hurt and didn’t really involve himself for a while.
• Pretty pull up and 3 point shot.
• Decent athleticism… long but skinny.
• Ballhandling is lacking a bit.
• Better passing than I expected tbh… couple good looks from the high post vs the zone. Hit a cutter… teammates were missing the shots though.
• Looks about 6’8
• Defensive effort was good but he couldn’t guard Mgbako so he had to sit for a long while. I think it’s more of an IQ and experience thing than an athleticism thing
• Looks a bit uncoordinated… just less of a fluid athlete. Not a great second jumper.
• Weak posting up and defending post
• Hands aren’t very good
• SnC program will solve a lot of his problem IMO.
• He is a sniper with a smooth, quick stroke. Corner shooter especially. Dynamite from there. Hit a bunch of jumpers.
• Good footwork on his shooting. Has a hop and a step into it.
• I saw 1 block and 1 steal

I would chalk up the uncoordination to his growth spurt.. will be interesting to see how he moves once he gets used to his body.
