Draft Notes

A powerfully built post player who loves to attack the rim. Is a high flyer who makes a lot of plays above the rim.

Rebounds the ball well and is a force on the boards. Is always a threat for a put-back slam.

Is a good lob threat and has a nice feel for rolling to the basket and making himself available.

Doesn’t have good ball skills and is a very limited offensive player. Can’t really shoot the ball from outside of 5 feet and is a woeful FT shooter.

An enforcer in the middle who can really protect the rim. Is a good on the ball defender with quick hands and good strength. And is a great weak-side shot blocker.

A great college player who might not have what it takes for the NBA but good earn good money as a pro overseas.
