Notes
OTE - Atlanta, GA - 10/29/2021
He missed all his jump shots, struggled on the glass, and was ineffective as a rim protector. He avoided contact in the paint, and his confidence seemed shaken after an air-balled dunk attempt! This was highlighted by two travel violations on subsequent paint touches as he tried to gather himself to go up.
OTE - Atlanta, GA - 1/17/2022
Had a rough shooting night from the perimeter not connecting on any of his jumpers. However, he excelled in the dunker spot, capitalizing on drives and drop-offs from teammates to finish three opportunities at the rim. Despite his offensive contributions at the rim, he was not impactful in rebounding or rim protection.
OTE - Atlanta, GA - 3/8/2022
Doesn't have a lot of lift causing for his shot to be blocked at the rim. However, he was active on the offensive glass pulling down 3 boards and converting 2 into putback baskets.
OTE - Atlanta, GA - 2/28/2023
He was very active on the offensive glass, showed the ability to block a shot at the rim. Played the dunker spot well also had several good face cuts leading to baskets at the time. Hit a baseline short corner shot from about 15ft.
