Private comments:
His mother played basketball at the University of the District of Columbia and father played at Pitt-Johnstown... Enjoys playing ping-pong and pool
All-around scoring forward...can play the small forward and power forward spots successfully...however more effective as a 3-4 or eventually even as a 3-2 because of his nice shooting touch;
Excellent ability to score in different ways...has the ability to knock down consistently the three point shot...drives to the basket using both hands...knows how to get his shot off in traffic...can catch the ball in the low post and play one on one with his back to the basket;
Always dangerous with the ball in his hands and hard to guard...will draw fouls and convert his free throws;
Safe enough ball handler to lead a break on the open court...solid passer;
Not your favourite leaper or runner...but has the strenght and the ability to use his body so well that he will put himself in conditions to always have an advantage over his own defender...seems to be knowing what to do all the time...plays with intelligence and maturity;
Works hard...hard nosed...very coachable.
