How good is this guy? Who does he remind you of?
I thought in the limited clips he looked very athletic and fluid for his size. I get the sense his offensive capabilities don't extend too far from the rim. His apparent strengths are paint defense. Like to think he can rebound.
Comparison? I'm terrible at this. Who fits the above?

He averaged about 9 pts (3rd on the team) and 7 rebs (leading the team). He shoots a decent percentage from the floor, but not from the FT line (he's in the 50s). Leads me to believe he doesn't have much range. He's smart enough to stay around the basket on offense. I think he blocks some shots, too. If he gets 10-12 ppg and gets double figures in rebounding, that's all we need from that position. We beat FSU, Indiana and others for him. Film shows him to be pretty athletic and active. Moves really well.
Here are his stats:

If we play the way we are hearing - running, pressing, maybe 4 guards on the floor, extending the defense and pushing the pace - he will fit well.

Hearty welcome to Mr. DeLoach and Mr. Melendez.
