Summary
MJ Rice is a 6’5 SF who is built like a tank due to absurd power, strength, frame, and motor. Rice is also an elite athlete with a quick first step and second jump. He is aggressive going to the basket, using his body to absorb contact and finish well with both hands. He also has a evolving perimeter game, now regularly hitting jumpers from all over the court at an efficient rate. He still needs to improve his range and increase his reps, but the results will come. Rice has a knack for rebounding the ball, often securing the board, and bringing the ball up starting the fastbreak. He has an elite upside on the defensive end due to his absurd frame, strength, length, lateral quickness, and motor. Being only a 6’5 wing, Rice will need to continue to heavily develop his perimeter game to keep the defenses on their toes. The overall upside for Rice is extremely high as he enters his freshman season at the University of Kansas next season.
