Outlook:
As his last name might imply, he has great hops... Lively body and sensational athleticism... Strong finisher... Good turnaround jumper, though he doesn't have great touch in traffic... Excels on the perimeter... Really loves the outside shot, and he is good at it too... Puts tremendous rotation on the ball... Doesn't do much with his handle, so its either long-range jumpers or short-range putbacks for him... Really disappoints as a rebounder considering his physical gifts... Lack of strength hurts his production, but its his lack of rebounding intelligence which may be at the root of the problem... Dangerous shotblocker Causes a lot of problems for opponents penetrating into the lane.... Nice handle... Runs the floor.
This 6-7 jumping jack played much better this year. He can play the 3 or 4 and shot the 3 with consistency. He is a great leaper, rebounder and defender.
