U16 OVERVIEW
Ariel Hukporti is German player with Togo roots. He is currently under long term deal with Ludwigsburg where he moved from Freiburg. Frontcourt prospect looks like a grown man among the kids while he is playing against peers. Standing at 6’10 he not only has excellent length but is physical specimen in general. He possess extremely strong built, huge palms, moves in rotation quite well and can really protect the rim. He takes pride in his defensive role and makes smaller unathletic player shy away from lay up attempts around him. It was visible even at Fiba U16 European Championship where he participated as underaged. Ariel maximizes his impact by using his phenomenal tools but offensively he doesn’t have much to offer as for now. Hukporti started basketball late (around the age of 13) which still shows in poor feel and raw skillset at times. Mostly he finishes simple plays after good dimes, preferably with huge dunks. However he keeps making strides towards broadening offensive repertoire, Touch is not bad at all, he can ocassionally surprise with good outside pass or even make a mid range jumper.
