Outlook:
Can play both forward positions. Tough defender. He can break down defenses off the dribble and make three-point shots. Quite good body frame, athletic. Usman is an intense competitor who uses his strength around the basket but he is also able to play outside. His range is extended out the three point arc but from the long distance he still lacks a bit of consistency. An athletic and mobile forward. Has the ability to impact a game on both ends of the floor. Averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks in Lithuanian 2nd division.
