Scouting Report
Can play both forward positions because he has the height to defend against bigger forwards and the quickness to line up against smaller ones. His length helps him in the steals department, as well as when rebounding the basketball. Drives the ball with conviction to the basket and is adept at getting to the charity stripe (where he is fairly solid). Needs to bulk up and get physically stronger in order to play the four position in the NBA on a regular basis. Is a true energy forward who might be ideal coming off the bench at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Versatile combo forward.
